Ned flirts with Monica, Ned & Monica get stranded in a snow storm, Dawn finds out Monica is her mother, Lucy sucks up to Alan, Monica pushes Ned and Dawn together, An FBI investigation.

At GH, Alan and Larry chat about the dragon bone quest. After Larry leaves, Monica questions Alan about his investment. Is he sure it's such a good idea to risk money on Larry's quest. Alan surprises her by telling her it's only money. Later, Monica heads out to make a house call in a blizzard, but returns a short time later when she cant get her car started. She asks Alan for a ride, but he can't get away, so Ned volunteers to help out, much to Monica's dismay. They arrive at Monica's house call only to find that her patients are not there. Then Ned's car fails to start. They are stranded! Ned thinks it's great, but Monica insists on walking to find a phone. They end up at a motel. Ned looks forward to a romantic tryst, but Monica insists on two rooms.

Alan makes phone calls to try to locate Ned and Monica, who have not been heard from in three days. Meanwhile, Ned continues to hit on Monica as they set out to return home. When they arrive at the mansion, Larry is suspicious about what went on between them, but Ned tells his dad off. Alan returns home just in time to hear Larry warn Ned to keep his hands off Monica. Alan meets up with Monica later at GH and greets her with a hug. She explains that the phone lines were down at the motel. Alan tells her about the fight he overheard Ned and Larry having. It seems Larry thinks that Ned and her are having some kind of a wild fling. Monica laughs. That's ridiculous! But Alan points out that she has been acting strange ever since she came home from the spa months ago. So what happened there? Monica jokes that she had an affair with every man there.

Big snowstorm hits PC. Alan and Audrey enter the cafeteria at GH. They had both been on their way home, but had to come back because of the bad roads. They decide to wait out the storm at the hospital. Larry comes in, having also been stranded. Soon, they are joined by Monica, who has finished a surgery. Alan points out how nice it is that they are all together -- if only Ned was here, wouldn't that be a hoot!

At the mansion, Ned and Alan discuss Katherine Delafield's engagement party that they are planning to attend later. When Monica enters, Alan gets in her face and tells her he'll be watching her every move. At the party, Ned presses up to Monica while they are listening to Katherine and Robin play a duet. Later, Ned and Monica dance (at Alan's suggestion).

At the mansion, Alan shoves a stack of receipts at Monica. Explain these! It seems there are room service charges -- dinner for two in ONE room, not two. Monica is flattered that he cares but downplays the situation. She tells him there is nothing going on, but Alan remains suspicious. At GH, Monica tells Ned that Alan is more suspicious than ever, and Ned has no idea what Alan is capable of. They have to convince him nothing is going on between them. She suggests Ned go out on date and she will arrange for Alan to see him. Monica finds Alan and convinces him to go to Duke's. Alan apologies to her about his earlier jealous fit. At Duke's, Ned charms Terri, who is his date. Terri sings, and Monica makes sure Alan sees Ned blow Terri a kiss. When Alan's not looking, Ned only seems to have eyes for Monica. Alan is completely convinced of Monica's sincerity, so they return home to jump in bed. They are interrupted by a call from Ned asking how he did with their plan. Monica pretends it's a call from the hospital and tells him she has to leave.

The next day at GH, Alan corners Monica and asks her where she was all night, because he's done his homework and knows she was only at the hospital for a few minutes. Unhappy about being checked up on, Monica tells him she went for a drive after looking in on her patient. For some reason Alan buys this and kisses Monica as Ned looks on.

At Kelly's, Ruby hears a crash outside and runs out to see Ned sprawled on the sidewalk! He has been in an accident while driving his motorcycle! The woman driving the other car comes running over. Oh my God, I killed him! But Ned soon comes to and is carried inside, where they argue back and forth about who was at fault. No damage done so they agree not to call the police. Later, Ned chats with Monica at GH (for some reason she doesn't seem to notice the huge cut on his face). Later, Monica meets a new nurse starting at the hospital, Dawn Winthrop (also the girl who hit Ned with her car).

Monica and Ned run into each other in the foyer of the mansion. Monica wants to set up Ned with someone his own age. At the hospital, Monica chats with Dawn, who is going through her orientation. They talk about how Dawn is new in town and doesn't know anybody. Monica gets a brainstorm and starts telling Dawn about her nephew, who is also new in town. Maybe Dawn would like to meet him . . . Later, however, Monica finds out that Ned and Dawn know each other already.

The Quartermaines await the arrival of Dr. Yasmine Bernuti, a research assistant of Larry's who will help him with the dragon bone quest. They all expect an old man, but are surprised when it's a gorgeous young woman. The Q men fawn all over the beautiful Yasmine. Later, Alan and Monica work at GH. Lila calls Alan with the news that Larry has invited the whole Q family to the Royal Reception as his request. Monica convinces Alan they must go. Larry notices his crest on his sash for the royal reception has been slashed. He can't attend and all the Q's are out of luck as they were guests of his. Since they are all dressed up anyway, Alan suggests they go out on the town. Monica pulls Ned aside and tells him to call Dawn.

Edward shows Alan a file on Larry's spending of their money they invested into the quest. He is very suspicious of Larry. Edward snoops in Larry's files in his suite, only to be caught by Alan. When Larry returns, Edward and Alan confront Larry about his spending on the quest. He covers and tells them that he and Yasmine are very close to a breakthrough.

At GH, Ned tells Monica that Dawn canceled on their date. Ned isn't really bothered by it, because Monica is the only woman he wants anyway. Alan walks in at that moment and sees Ned and Monica holding hands. He stares daggers as Monica pulls away from Ned. Wordlessly, he sits down at another table. Monica warns Ned about Alan's intense jealousy. Later, Alan goes to see Tom for his professional help. He tells Tom of his suspicions about Ned and Monica, and that he feels the same rage that led him to try to kill Monica in the past. He could do it again! Tom advises him to ask Monica straight out and work through it.

Ned ups to Monica at GH to talk to her. Monica pulls him aside angrily. Didn't he hear anything she said about Alan earlier? What if Alan sees them? Ned tells Monica he wants the Q's to now throw Dawn a birthday party, since he has just found out it's Dawn's birthday. In the meantime, Dawn remembers her adoptive mother's death, which occurred on her birthday, and being told where she could find her birth mother. Ned asks Dawn to come to dinner at the Quartermaines. Dawn later accepts as Ned is giggling about something funny in Monica's personnel file -- Monica's real name. After Ned leaves, Dawn pulls out her real mother's birth certificate. It's the same name. Monica is her birth mother!

Ned arrives to pick up Dawn, but she tells him she can't go (she's really upset about Monica being her mother). Ned keeps at her until she agrees to go. At the mansion, no one seems to notice how tense Dawn is. She tells them about her family and her background in Minnesota. Alan asks her why she chose a nursing program so far from home. A birthday cake is wheeled out for her and they sing happy birthday! Monica gives her a present on behalf of all the Quartermaines: a locket. Dawn tears up as Monica puts it on her. Overwhelmed with emotion, Dawn cuts out early. When they are alone, Alan confronts Monica, suspicious as to why Monica is going the extra mile for a stranger like Dawn. He accuses Monica of using Dawn as a decoy to cover her affair with her lover, Ned. Meanwhile, Ned brings Dawn home. Dawn gets upset all over again when Ned mentions that Monica picked out the locket.

Monica bumps into Ned on her way out of the house. They chat briefly while Alan watches from the stairs. After Monica leaves, Ned notices Alan standing there and asks if something is wrong. Alan shrugs. If something is wrong, he'll tell him. At GH, Dawn tells Ned that she doesn't want to see him anymore. It just wouldn't work. Ned runs to Monica to tell her this, and that he wont back down that easy. He asks Monica to talk her and find out what's up. Monica turns him down. Alan is breathing down her neck, so she wants as little contact with Ned as possible.

At GH, Monica tells Ned he needn't bother chasing Dawn; Alan isn't buying it anyway. Ned doesn't mind chasing Dawn. He really likes her. Monica pretends she is not bothered by that. After she walks away, Ned reads a letter from Tracy, saying that she is coming home soon. Later, Monica has lunch at Kelly's and runs into Ned when he arrives with Dawn. Ned confides in Dawn about Tracy's return home and asks her to come to the upcoming Quartermaine party.

Ned tells Monica that Dawn will be coming to the party tonight. Ned makes sure to mention it to Alan when he walks in. As the party gets underway, the Quartermaines mingle. Monica gets jealous of Alan's attention towards the beautiful Yasmine. Later, Monica is distressed to find out that Katherine has been arrested by Robert.

Sean asks for Monica's help at GH to sneak into Darius's room so that he can question him. Monica distracts the guards so that Sean can go in. Alan takes a jab at Monica about Ned, but later offers a truce. He asks her to go with Katherine's concert with him. Monica is still sore at him, but agrees.

The family leaves for Katherine's concert. Afterwards, there's a party at Katherine's townhouse. Monica is once again jealous of Alan's attention towards the beautiful Yasmine. Later, Alan gets rather tipsy, so Monica escorts him out. When they get home, Monica starts helping Alan up the stairs, but he tells her not to. He's perfectly capable of putting himself to bed -- he's been doing it for years!

At GH, Monica overhears Audrey talking to Dawn and finds out that Dawn is an orphan. She sits Dawn down and tells her that she knows Dawn made up all those stories about her parents the other night at dinner, but that it's okay and she understands why she did it -- Monica was an orphan too.

The Q's celebrate Larry's breakthrough in the quest. When everyone leaves the room, Ned makes a call to Tracy in London, updating her on Larry's progress. Ned catches Monica in the foyer to tell her that although he's still crazy about her, he really likes Dawn and they are going out again tonight. Monica is happy for him. Later, Monica gets a call from sister Agatha at the convent where she grew up. The sister wants Monica to come there right away, but wont explain why. Monica arrives in St Louis. To her surprise, her old pal Gail is there. After hugs and kisses, Gail tells her that the FBI is looking into Monica's past -- it's all about the father of the baby she gave up for adoption years ago . . . In the meantime, Alan returns home only to find out from and Jennings that Monica has gone out of town. Apparently, Monica lied, because Jennings tells Alan that she has gone to a medical convention in St. Louis.

At GH, Alan questions Ned about Monica. Did she say anything about going out of town? Monica hasn't called and he's getting concerned. He also points out that Monica has been acting strangely ever since she came home from the spa last year. Amy tells Alan that Monica called earlier saying that she has reached her hotel. Somehow Alan's mind is not put at ease. Lucy arrives to see Alan and tells him of her money woes. Her divorce to Tony is going through, and she can't continue to volunteer at the Daycare center. Alan practically springs out of his chair to talk to Steve on Lucy's behalf. Alan suggests to fund Lucy's position at GH by finding a sponsor to foot the bill. Steve agrees, but Alan asks him to keep it under his hat. He wouldn't want Monica or anyone else to get the wrong idea.

An FBI agent arrives at GH to talk to Steve about Monica. Alan overhears this and inquires with Melissa at the nurses station, but she doesn't know anything. Later, motor-mouth Amy lets Alan know that the FBI is looking into Monica. Alan asks Steve what's going on. Steve is clueless because the agent told him nothing, only asked questions. Alan catches the agent on his way out and asks him why he's investigating Monica. The agent gives him the run-around.

Alan returns home and calls Edward, who is at the club, to ask if he knows what Monica did to get mixed up with the FBI. Edward knows nothing and cuts the call short to get a drink. Alan is worried and wondering what Monica did wrong. Lila tells him shame on him. Maybe the FBI wants to offer her job! In the meantime, Monica and Gail arrive in Washington D.C. Monica is nervous because she knows the FBI wants information about the father of the baby she gave up for adoption. Gail agrees to come back to Port Charles with Monica to sort out this mess.

Alan joins Lucy for lunch at the Floating Rib. They are interrupted by Tiffany, who excitedly tells them what just came hot off the news wire: Katherine is alive! At GH, Steve lets it slip to Lucy that Alan has put up the money to pay her salary. Lucy practically melts at Alan's feet, but he tells her he simply didn't want to lose her at the daycare center.

Monica returns home to find Ned on the phone with Tracy. He breaks the news that Tracy is returning home on Friday. Monica's face turns to stone. She'd better not be! Monica refuses to let Tracy stay at the mansion, mainly because she will clash with Larry and Arielle. Monica goes to GH to see Alan, who's eyes bulge when he sees her. Where has she been! Why didn't she call! Monica weaves a tale about having to fill in at the last minute. Lucy barges in on them with lunch for her and Alan, which sends Monica spinning on her heel. Alone, Lucy proceeds to spoon feed Alan his lunch. Intoxicated by her not-to-subtle charm, Alan invites Lucy to dinner. They dine at the Floating Rib, where Lucy flashes her diamond bracelet. She believes Alan is the one who gave her the bracelet, but it wasn't him. Back at the mansion, Monica softens over the Tracy issue when she sees how upset it's making Lila. For Lila's sake, Tracy can stay at the mansion.

Alan and Larry chat about Tracy's impending arrival. Larry insists that Tracy doesn't bother him anymore. Alan quips that he's seen stronger men than him quiver in her presence.

Alan & Monica #2    March 17 - May 16, 1989    4 hours

Back to Top

Tracy returns, Alan sees Ned & Monica kiss, Alan spars with Tracy, Edward is killed in a plane crash, Battle over Edward's will, Dragon Bone quest conclusion, Monica and Tracy catfight!

The Quartermaines prepare for Tracy's arrival as the zero hour approaches. A lot of wisecracks from Monica. Ned and Dawn arrive. Alan pulls Monica aside and tells her not to let on to Tracy that they are having problems. The doorbell rings and everyone looks at each other. A train of menservants walk in carrying trunks, followed by Tracy. I'm home! Alan and Monica exchange greetings, but only Lila nd Ned seem to be happy to see her. Tracy only has cutting words for Larry. When Arielle comes down, Tracy whips around. Who is that? Larry introduces his ex-wife to his current wife. Guests arrive for a party in Tracy's honor. Nicholas Van Buren arrives as Lila's special guest. Ned finds Monica to point out that Alan has once again seemed to make a bee line for the beautiful Yasmine. Monica warns him to look sharp, because Alan could only be using Yasmine to throw her off. The party moves over to Katherine's townhouse, where Alan continues to jab at Monica about Ned. When Lucy finds herself without an escort home, Alan practically trips over himself to give her a lift, which doesn't go unnoticed by Tracy and Monica.

The next morning, Monica is putting her coat on heading to GH. Tracy tells Monica that she has heard that Ned has become a friend. How does she think Ned would react to a great emotional shock? Larry pulls her away, but angry, Alan grabs Monica's arm. What doe she think Ned told Tracy about his Auntie Monica? When Alan and Monica arrive at the hospital, they are still fighting about it. Alan accuses Monica of having an affair, but quickly turns on the charm when Lucy approaches. He asks Lucy out to lunch right in front of Monica, who has no reaction. After Lucy bounces away, Alan turns to Monica. This is all the proof he needs -- Monica must be having an affair, otherwise that would have made her insane with jealousy!

In the meantime, Tracy tells Ned that his father is not the true heir to the Ashton fortune. She demands that he keep the secret. Upset, Ned pours himself a drink, but then seems to get an idea and calls GH so that Monica will find out he's not coming in. He speaks to Monica on the phone and makes sure she hears how upset he sounds. Like clockwork, Monica arrives at the gatehouse to find Ned on the floor next to an empty bottle. She gets him up on the couch, then runs up to the main house to have Jennings send down a thermos of black coffee. The problem is, Jennings mentions to Alan when he returns home that Monica is down at the gatehouse. With fire in his eyes, Alan heads down there. Meanwhile, Monica tends to a drunk Ned in the sofa, who grabs her for a kiss. Alan sees them through the window. Uh-oh!

At GH Alan angrily confronts Monica about kissing Ned as Dawn overhears their violent argument. Monica doesn't deny the kiss, but claims Ned was drunk and didn't know what he was doing. Alan doesn't care. He tells her she's a slut -- always has been and always will be! Later, Alan goes to the gatehouse and confronts Tracy about Ned and Monica having an affair. Tracy laughs at the very notion. Are you looking for someone to take Monica off your hands? Alan thinks Tracy is just protecting Ned and they have a screaming argument which ends in Alan storming out. Ned comes downstairs, and Tracy presses him on the issue. Ned doesn't really confirm or deny, but evades her questions.

Alan catches Tracy snooping in Ashton's room. Alan explodes at her for interfering with Larry and Arielle's lives, and grabs her arms, shaking her. Tracy warns Alan he had better get his temper under control before he does something he'll regret. At GH, Alan speaks with Tom about his building rage and asks Tom to counsel him immediately, because he is on the verge of killing both Monica and Ned if he's not stopped! Tom agrees to cancel his appointments and meet him at the mansion later. Tom arrives and counsels a furious Alan. Tom suggests that Alan confront both Monica and Ned together.

Alan asks Tracy why she's here. Why did she come back to Port Charles? Tracy assures him she is only concerned with the family's best interests, but they end up arguing again.

The Quartermaines have coffee at the mansion. After the room clears, Alan confronts Ned and Monica about the kiss. He addresses Ned tells him he's putting them both on notice. If he ever goes near his wife again, there will be a very serious reaction from him. He walks out as Monica holds Ned back and advises him to leave it alone. Monica and Ned meet up later at GH, where Monica warns Ned that Alan has tried to kill her in the past. Those were no idle threats . . . When she runs into Alan later, Monica demands a divorce. She wants him and all the other Quartermaines with the exception of Lila out of her house, and she wont hesitate to get a restraining order against him if he ever threatens her again!

It's a tense breakfast at the Quartermaine's with Alan, Monica and Ned all exchanging glares while Lila makes pleasantries. Alone with Ned, Monica tells him that between Alan jealousy and Tracy's shenanigans, the whole house is ready to blow! Later, Tracy corners Monica for a friendly chat about her son. They trade barbs.

Alan and Monica return home to find Larry and Tracy oddly happy. They are delirious because they have found the map to the Lost Civilization. Everyone shares a toast to the quest. Later, Alan tells Monica he thinks Ashton and Tracy are up to no good -- for example, pushing AJ aside to give Ned control of ELQ. Monica laughs and tells Alan he's getting more paranoid every day. It turns out Alan is right to be paranoid, however, when Monica receives another call from the FBI. Alan demands to know what it's about, but Monica fires back that she doesn't know, so get off her back!

Alan is talking to Monica on the phone. She is in Washington for her meeting with the FBI. Alan asks why they wanted to speak to her, but they argue and Monica hangs up on him. Tracy walks in and overhears this. She insinuates that Monica is having an affair and they fight yet again. Alan gets in her face about trying place Ned at the helm of ELQ. Lila has to break them up. Later Alan listens at Edward's door as Tracy badmouths him and refers to Ned as the only legitimate grandson. Alan runs right to Lila and reports that Tracy is trying to turn Edward against him!

Alan gets miffed when he finds out that Ned and Edward are headed off for a cozy fishing trip. With Edward expecting a visit from his lawyer later that day, Alan suspects that Ned is just making time with his grandfather to get a good spot in the will when Edward has it revised. Edward overhears them from the second floor. Nicholas shows up at the Q mansion to pick them all up and take them to the airport and fly them to New York, where Paul DeVor is receiving an award. On the plane, Alan warns Tracy about Ned getting too close to Edward. When they arrive back at the mansion they run into Edward's lawyer and discover that Edward is once again changing his will. Alan panics and pulls AJ aside when he gets home. Go upstairs and be nice to your grandfather -- right now. AJ pops in quickly, but Tracy sees right through it and confronts Alan. What was that? Alan smiles. Two can play at her game!

Alan and Tracy argue about Edward's will. When Ned comes home, Alan physically attacks him and demands to know what he knows about Edwards will. Why the sudden interest in fishing! Ned denies that he's after Edward's money and all three of them argue. Both Alan and Tracy are stunned when Ned mentions that Edward is leaving town -- a fishing trip. As Edward prepares to leave on his fishing trip, he tells Lila he's worried about leaving her alone with Alan and Tracy, but Lila is confident she can handle them. They proceed to go downstairs where Edward's lawyer is on the phone. He is making sure the amended will had been finalized. Tracy perks up with interest while Alan seethes. They fight to shower Edward with affection before he leaves. Afterwards, Alan and Tracy try to find out where Edward went on his vacation, but Ned and Lila won't tell. On the plane, Edward flirts with the flight attendant and laughs about his scam on Tracy and Alan -- He changed the will so that they wont get a thing! He intends on making them squirm for two weeks until he returns and changes the will back. Maybe it'll teach them a lesson!

At the Quartermaine mansion, Tracy, Alan and Ned hear a news report that Edward's plane on route to the Bahamas has gone missing. They all start to freak out, but when Lila walks in, they downplay their fear. Lila is stoic in the face of disaster and tells them all to stay calm until they know something concrete. Alan and Ned leave for the airport, which is swarming with family members of the people on the missing plane. While waiting for news on the plane, Alan tells Ned about his deep connection to his father. They are called to the managers office. It seems that Edward's name is not on the passenger list. Alan gets relieved, thinking that Edward was not on the flight, but Ned explains that Edward purchased his ticking under a fictitious name. He didn't want Alan and Tracy following him. Ned and Alan return home to find the house filled with friends offering support. Lila is strong and refuses to let anyone think the worst.

The Quartermaine's watch a news report about the missing plane, but there's nothing new. Alan feels helpless at home, so he and Ned go back to the airport, where Tiffany is covering the story. Everyone is devastated when the FAA calls off the search for the plane. Later, Alan returns home. He and Tracy lean on each other for support. They both wish they could be as strong as Lila. Tracy breaks down in Alan's arms.

Monica returns home to hugs from everyone. Lila still believes Edward is fine and scolds Tracy and Alan for fearing the worst. Later, Monica and Tracy talk about Lila and Edward. They agree to put their differences aside and just be a family. Tracy breaks down and Monica puts her arms around her. (Note: news interruption cuts into this scene).

Monica comes downstairs early in the morning and is startled by Tracy, who is sleeping on the couch. (Note: another news interruption here). Unfortunately, Tracy has more bad news. She saw a news report last night about Duke Lavery. He's been killed in a warehouse explosion! Monica is upset, but more so about Edward. They talk about Lila and Edward's great love for each other. Tracy wishes she had Lila's faith that Edward would be found alive. In the meantime, Alan and Ned have traveled to the scene where wreckage from the plane is being taken. A tackle box is brought in and they know it is Edward's. Alan breaks down. Later, he calls Monica to tell her that they found Edward's tackle box and it's not looking good. Tracy starts to fall apart. When Lila walks in, they tell her the news. Ever stoic, Lila tells Tracy and Monica not to cry. Edward wouldn't want any tears.

Alan and Monica are about to leave the house for Duke Lavery's memorial service. Monica is visibly annoyed to see Ned comforting Terry, which Tracy enjoys. Later, the Quartermaines return from the service to find Edward's lawyer. He tells them that Edward had requested his will be read within 72 hours of his death. No one is ready to accept that Edward is dead, because no body has been recovered, but the lawyer states that maritime law is very specific, and as far as they are concerned, Edward is officially declared dead. Alan and Tracy shoot each other suspicious glances when they learn that Edward had made changes to his will recently.

Alan and Tracy spar regarding who gets what in Edward's will. Alan glares when Tracy tells him she and Lila are going out to dinner with a mystery dinner date. Later, Alan decides to crash their dinner at the hotel and discovers it's Nicholas Van Buren, who invites Alan to join them. Alan pulls up a chair, much to Tracy's dismay. Alan and Tracy both try to pump Lila for info on the changes to Edward's will.

At the mansion, Alan seems confident that he will get the bulk of Edward's estate. He promises to share his "good fortune"with Tracy and Ned. The family gathers for the reading of Edward's will. Both Alan and Tracy are shocked to learn that Edward has left them each only one dollar! Tracy's disappointment soon fades when she learns that in fact Edward has left the majority of his estate to Ned. Alan is fit to be tied. He belly-aches to Monica. It is HIS money and he will have it all!

At GH, Alan is preoccupied. He tells Monica he's meeting with his lawyers to try to break Edward's will. Lucy is agitated because she can't locate Scott. She runs into Alan, who settles her down and tells her to take a deep breath. Lucy shows her gratitude by flirting with him. In the meantime, Monica returns home to find Tiffany waiting at the house. She claims she just has time to time to kill, but she is really waiting for Larry to come home so that she can signal Sean with a secret button on her broach. The gardener gives Monica flowers for her birthday. Alan comes home with Lucy, only making a quick appearance before sauntering away. Monica is upset that Alan forgot her birthday. When Tiffany spots Larry returning home, she gets so excited she drops her broach and breaks the gadget inside. In a panic, she runs to the phone to call Sean, but Monica takes a call from GH, tying up the phone. Tiffany leaves in a panic.

Alan and Ned argue about Edward's will. Jennings announces that dinner is ready. Alan grumbles that he doesn't want anything and orders Jennings to send up a tray to his room. On his way out, Jennings whispers in Alan's ear. There's something he should know: it's Monica's birthday. Later, Alan comes up to their bedroom with cake and champagne for Monica's birthday. Monica is touched, but they end up fighting about Edward and the money again. Monica yells at him. The only thing he thinks about is money! Alan retorts by telling her that he's lost more than just money; he thought his father loved him but was wrong. Now all that's left is the money.

Alan and Monica bump into Tracy and Ned on their way out of the house. Ned is surprised when Alan is actually nice to him, but after Alan and Monica leave, Tracy warns Ned to beware of Alan. He is never nice. He's up to something -- like for example, contesting Edward's will! When Alan and Monica arrive at GH, they are arguing again. Alan is outraged at the way Ned softened Edward up and bilked him out of everything that was rightfully his. He yells at Monica that she doesn't understand -- but then, she fell for Ned, too, didn't she? Later, Monica talks to Ned at GH and warns him that Alan is plotting against him. Ned appreciates the heads up, but informs her she's not going to have to worry about it. He doesn't want the money, so he's giving it all to Alan. Later at the mansion, he is about to tell Alan this, but Alan bawls him out and makes him mad all over again. Ned tells him he's going fight him tooth and nail. He'll never get Grandfather's money!

Monica and Alan walk in as Ashton and Yasmine are talking about the dragon bone and emerald having been stolen. Alan fumes and demands answers, but then he and Monica get called to GH. Alan spits threats at Larry before leaving. At GH, Alan arrives complaining to Monica that Larry is a thief and a swindler. He is even more agitated when he sees Ned chatting with the nurses. Like father, like son! He grabs Ned by the arm, but Monica makes him back down. Later, they are both called back home by Larry, who happily tells them that the dragon bone has been found! They will set sail on the quest right away.

A party for the quest begins at The Quatermaines (beautiful location scenes). Alan and Larry walks around making last minute preparations. Meanwhile, Sean and Sam pull guns on the people delivering the flowers and get them to admit that they have been hired to get the dragon bone and deliver it to the airport. They tie them up and steal their disguises. Then Sam and the other cops dress as ninjas and set out to get the dragon bone in their place. Sean and Colton rejoin the party. In the meantime, Arielle finds her uncle's men tied up and frees them. She orders them to overtake Sean's men, get the dragon bone, and to bring Colton back to her. Domino's men set out and attack Sean's men, changing clothes with them. Meanwhile at the party, Charlie Prince announces he is the real Lord Ashton. He challenges Larry to a duel. Or is he a coward as well as a bastard? Larry rises to the challenge and the two of them start fencing. Meanwhile Tracy and Monica begin to fight about Ned. Tracy yells that she came to town to save her son from the hot-flashes of a haggard old whore! Monica grabs her and they wrestle -- falling into the water fountain! Domino's men storm the party hold guns on everyone. Then Domino's voice is heard from an amplifier. He tells everyone not to move as his men steal the dragon bone and drag Colton away. Tiffany elbows Sean and tells him to do something, but Sean tells her to relax, thinking that it is Sam and the cops. In the middle of all the chaos, Friday runs up and grabs the dragon bone (his favorite toy) and runs off with it!

The chaotic garden party continues. Every stands around as the ninjas hold them hostage, threatening them with grenades. Tiffany pretends to faint to create a distraction. Then Sean and the cops jump the ninjas. A grenade is dropped and everyone scrambles to find the pin while Sean holds it so it doesn't blow up. They find the pin and put it back in. The ordeal is over at last!

Back at the mansion, everyone gathers. Monica and Tracy are in robes and they have wrapped their wet hair in towels. Sean and Charlie are able to prove that Charlie is the real Lord Ashton. Poor Larry is crushed, especially when Charlie announces that he will give the fortune of the lost civilization to the Chinese Government, to which it belongs. Arielle and Colton arrive, and Colton urges Arielle to point out who Domino is. Before Arielle can finger her uncle, she is shot in the neck with a poison dart!

It's chaos at the Quartermaines as Arielle is rushed off by ambulance. Afterwards, Sean holds everyone in the room for questioning. Someone in that room had to have been the shooter!

At the Quartermaine mansion, Sean holds everyone in the room for questioning. Someone in that room had to have shot Arielle with a poison dart. Tensions run high as everyone blames each other. Alan and Ned take swings at each other. Sean breaks them up and restores order. Alan gets a call that some of Edward's luggage has been retrieved from the crash and leaves to go to the airport, but not before he gets in Ned's face one more time. After he leaves, Ned and Monica talk about this sticky situation with Alan and the money. Monica warns Ned again that Alan may not be overstating when he says this is a fight to the death. Meanwhile at the airport, Alan runs into Lucy, who was planning to leave town. Lucy spins a sob story about breaking up with Scott because he wanted sex. Sufficiently played, Alan convinces her to stay in town and puts her up at the PC hotel at his expense.

Alan visits Lucy at her hotel room the next morning to see how she's doing. Lucy is actually doing pretty good, eating a big breakfast. Still, that doesn't stop her from sniveling about Scott. She tells Alan how much she appreciates having such a wonderful room. Alan is pleased to help her. It's taking his mind off his own problems. Later, Alan returns. Lucy is nervous. She tells him that Olivia Jerome is directly across the hall from her. Alan doesn't think she has to worry about it -- she has no connection to the Jeromes.

Monica goes down to the gatehouse to see Ned to warn him again to be careful of Alan. He doesn't understand the kind of anger Alan is capable of. Ned is not afraid of Alan and he has no intention of giving up. That would be like saying that Alan's accusations are true, and he wont do that! He storms out.

Tracy is upset when she finds out that Alan has set up a court hearing to protest Edward's will. Ned tells Tracy to stay out of it. This is between him and Alan. Tracy and Alan argue in the foyer as Alan and Monica leave for the hospital. Later, Tracy shows up as the court hearing gets underway. Alan paints Edward as a man going senile shortly before his death. Lila walks in to set the record straight. Her husband was NOT senile! The judge (who is clearly smitten with Lila) decides to let the will stand as is. Alan tells them this isn't over and walks out. Later, Monica returns home as Alan is making calls to ELQ Shareholders. Is he doing what she thinks he's doing? Alan admits he's closing ranks against Ned. They get into another shouting argument.

Alan goes to see Lucy to unload. She pours him a drink and rubs his temples while he complains about his father, Ned and Monica. Lucy is only too happy to listen to his family woes.

The Quartermaine's (minus Alan) watch Tiffany's coverage of Charlie turning over the dragon bone to the Chinese government. Larry seethes. Tracy can't believe Charlie actually went through with it. Monica and Tracy argue about Ned. Later, Monica is alone in the living room when Ned enters. They discuss Larry and the lost quest. Ned takes no joy in seeing his father lose everything. Tracy walks in complaining about the turn of events. Charlie enters and asks if he can have a word with Ned and Alan. Monica tells him that Alan is off having a fit somewhere, but she has no idea where . . . Meanwhile, Alan arrives at Lucy's hotel room, grumbling about how the Ashtons have thrown away a fortune that belonged to him. Lucy is sympathetic as always, and strokes his bruised ego. Alan returns to the mansion and gets in Charlie's face, but Charlie stuns them all -- he didn't give away ALL the money and goes onto explain that he is returning Alan and Edward's original investment. Alan cracks a smile -- until he finds out that Ned gets Edward's share. Likewise, Tracy and Larry complain because they put money into it too. Very soon, everyone is fighting again. Alan storms out, telling Monica she has Ned to comfort her! Left alone, Monica moans to Ned that she is sick to death of talking about money. Ned suggests that he might endorse his check over to Alan.

Meanwhile, Alan goes back to Lucy's room, but finds Scott manhandling her (at least that's how it looks) and throws him out. Lucy is only too happy to play the victim and gives Alan a massage to show her gratitude.

At ELQ, Alan conducts a board meeting, where he tells the stockholders that Ned is not prepared to handle their money. Do they really want to risk their money with that little snot nose? Monica and Ned arrive, and Ned takes over the meeting. Alan pulls Monica aside and sneers at her. She's in bed with Ned in more ways than one! Ned assures all the stockholders that business will continue as usual. Alan is livid. Ned offers Alan a challenge -- they will each take the 2 million they got from the quest and invest it however they see fit. Whoever makes the most money after six months wins control of the company. Alan rises the challenge and they shake on it. Later, Alan and Monica return home fighting. Monica tells him to just forget this stupid competition and work with Ned. Alan gives her a long look; He can teach Ned in the boardroom, and Monica can teach him in the bedroom!

At GH, Alan is on the phone buying stock. Monica tugs on his arm. She wants to talk about their joke of a marriage. Alan brushes her off because he's busy talking to his broker. Monica grabs the phone from him and slams it down. Alan accuses her of wanting him to fail. Monica just wants their marriage back on track. When Amanda Barrington walks by, Alan rushes to her side to butter her up for her vote while Monica stands there and shakes her head. Afterwards, Alan goes to Lucy to vent about Monica.

Still upset about her earlier fight with Alan, Monica goes the boathouse to cry. Ned finds her there when he shows up to clean Edward's fishing tackle. He sees that Monica has been crying and gets her to talk about it. Monica cries on his shoulder and he comforts her. Eventually they kiss and are seen by Larry, who is watching from the door. He quickly leaves, and Ned goes on to tell Monica he will always cherish the night they made love at the spa. Monica wishes they could go back to the those days and kisses Ned again, but then pulls away. They can't do this! She leaves.

Larry shows Monica Arielle's break up letter. Monica is sympathetic and despite his broken heart, Larry is as charming as ever. He asks her if she'd like to go for a walk. When they return, Larry whines about his lost heritage, etc. Monica convinces him he should go back there and straighten things out and even lends him money for the trip. Larry is grateful and kisses her on the cheek. Later, Monica is at home when the phone rings. It's a Detective from the NYPD. He was trying to reach Audrey Hardy, but they gave him her number instead. He has a troubled kid in custody -- Dawn Winthrop! Monica takes down the address and tells him she will be there.

At GH, Alan gets stark-raving mad when he finds out that Monica left town without telling him. He runs into Ned and demands to know where Monica is. Ned snarls back at him. He has no idea. In New York city, Monica bails Dawn out. It seems she was arrested in a drug bust while working as a cocktail waitress at a club. Dawn is brought in and is disgusted to see Monica. Who called her? There's no way is she ever going back to PC. She's got a big chip on her shoulder, but Monica wears her down and convinces Dawn to come with her -- it's either that or she does jail time.

Alan returns home and pours a stiff drink. Tracy makes a comment about Monica being missing and wonders if Alan is happy he has freedom to do the same. She infers he is having an affair and tells him she approves. Just make sure it isn't another gold digger! When Monica returns home, Alan yells at her for not telling anyone where she went. He didn't know if she was off having an affair or just had an accident! Monica angrily tells him about Dawn's troubles, but Alan is unsympathetic. Why is Dawn her responsibility? Alan suspects she's using that as a cover story to cover the affair she's having. Couldn't she have come up with something better than that? Monica throws a glass at him as he walks away.

Ned sees Monica at the hospital. She tells him about Dawn's trouble in New York. She thinks that the reason Dawn left PC in the first place was because she found out about Monica's affair with Ned. Ned tries to talk to Dawn but she gives him the cold shoulder and turns down his dinner invitation. Ned regroups with Monica and tells her that Dawn is definitely mad at him about something. When Monica returns home, Alan and Lila are talking about Dawn. Lila mentions that Dawn has resumed her nursing studies and Monica has taken her under her wing. Alan quips: that should help Dawn immensely with her knowledge of anatomy! Alan and Monica move into the foyer to argue about Ned. Alan accuses her for the billionth time of having an affair, which Monica denies. She gave up her job as assistant chief of staff to make Alan feel more secure in his masculinity! Their fight ends with Alan stomping up the stairs.

Later, Alan runs into Scott at the PC grille and warns him never to come near Lucy again. They have a drink together and continue to trade barbs. Meanwhile, Ned returns home to Monica and tells her that he's just talked to Dawn. She confirmed that she overheard about the affair, but agreed to keep it under wraps. Monica hates that this lie is growing, but Ned assures her that no one will ever find out about what happened between them . . .

Little do they know that Lucy is at Green Meadows spa talking to Gloria, the manager, who dishes to Lucy about Monica's affair while she was staying there last fall. Lucy does some snooping and finds a picture of the man in question -- and it's Ned! Monica had an affair with her husband's nephew! Lucy smiles devilishly and prepares to return to Port Charles.

Charlie drops by the mansion with news of the Chinese ship that was sent to find the lost civilization. It seems it sank mysteriously before reaching it's destination. After Charlie leaves, Monica affectionately tells Ned that Dawn could do a lot worse than him. She hugs him as Tracy walks in and is disgusted by it. When the cat's away, the mice certainly play. Later, Alan returns home and confronts Monica about her affair. Monica not only denies it but blames him. If he spent more time at home they could work on their marriage! After Alan storms off, Monica sorts through the mail and discovers a hotel bill for Lucy Coe's room billed to Alan. So that's where Alan keeps his little love nest!

Lucy returns to her hotel room and finds Monica there. Monica is holding the hotel bill in her hand. So why has her husband been footing the bill? Lucy swallows and jumps into her routine about Scott having forced himself on her, and Alan having been kind enough to help her out of a jam. Monica isn't buying any of it and tells her the free ride is over. She'd better stay away from Alan, otherwise Monica will make sure the whole hospital knows what a cheap slut they have running the daycare center. Lucy reminds her that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Monica turns around. What? Lucy bites her tongue. Nothing . . . Later, Alan drops by. Lucy turns on the tears and tells him that Monica came by and made some snide remarks. Alan gets furious and leaves to confront his wife. When he returns home, Tracy is there and tells him she is worried about Lila. She heard Lila talking to herself earlier and smelled cigar smoke coming from her room and saw Jennings bringing up martinis to her. When Alan asks where Monica is, Tracy smiles. What a coincidence. Ashton has been anxious to see her, too. Very anxious . . . Later, Monica returns home, where she and Alan argue for the umpteenth time.

At GH, Alan asks Monica if she is going to the wedding (Colton & Felicia's). Monica is changing at the hospital and going after her shift. Alan tells her he's changing at home, so he'll meet her there. Later, everyone gathers for a moonlight wedding in the park. Lucy latches onto Alan to apologize profusely for causing a rift between him and Monica. She would just die if she did anything to offend Monica! Alan tells her that she cannot create a rift where a continual divide already exists. Meanwhile, Ned and Monica bump into each other and exchange whispers while Lucy observes. After the wedding, Monica walks up to Alan. What a shame he's blown so much money on Lucy Jones . . . Apparently she's gone back to Scott's bed. The reception moves to Duke's club. Alan ups to Lucy, but Scott tells him to get lost.

At the mansion, Tracy asks Larry (who has just returned from Monte Carlo) if he is still going to pursue Monica. Larry is not interested. When Monica arrives, she asks Larry how his trip was (she still thinks he went to England). Tracy walks in to make a snarky remark as Monica heads off to the hospital.

Tracy walks in to find Alan on the phone with his stockbroker. Tracy laughs and tells Alan Ned is going to hang him over the mantle like a moose head in their contest. At least he has a career to fall back on. Alan is confident that he will be in control of ELQ. Nicholas Van Buren arrives to see Tracy as Alan leaves the room. Alone, Tracy and Van Buren discuss the sale of the ELQ tanker fleet.

At GH, Monica asks Dawn out for dinner. Dawn tries to brush her off. Ned shows up to tell her he needs her vote on the tanker deal. Monica doesn't want to vote against Alan right now. Meanwhile, Tracy eavesdrops on Alan while he's on the phone investing, but it turns out he's only talking to a patient. Later, Tracy and Alan interrupt Ned in a meeting with some business associates (computer geeks). After walking out, Alan wonders what they are up to and hangs around to spy on them.

At Kelly's, Dawn has dinner with Monica. Monica tells her she feels responsible for making her come back to Port Charles. Ned arrives with a surprise for Monica. It's Jason! (A very little Jason). He is out of boarding school early. Monica fawns all over him, which makes Dawn uncomfortable. They all have dinner together. Ned gets a call from Tracy. She tells him to come home for a family meeting that Lila has called. She mentions that Monica really should be there, but she has no idea where Monica is and she's not going to call all over town looking for her. He tells her he will find Monica.

At the mansion, Alan talks to Amanda about the sale of the oil tankers. Tracy interrupts them. Then Steve arrives and announces the hospital board is going to donate a plaque in Edward's honor. The Quartermaines are pleased, but Alan seems offended and declines to help the board with the dedication.

At the PC grille, Alan meets with the owner of a Pharmaceutical company, while Lucy eyes from a few tables away as she has dinner with Scott. Scott is soon called away, leaving Lucy alone. Alan joins her at her table to vent about his daddy issues. He can't believe that the hospital is venerating his father over him. Lucy seems to understand his feelings, to which he is grateful and orders more wine. Later Scott returns and is upset to find Alan with Lucy. Lucy, on the other hand is thrilled to find out that Olivia has been arrested.

At the mansion, the Quartermaines are all gushing about how Edward would be so happy to know about the plaque in his honor at GH. Alan is still sore about it. Monica goes to GH and receives a surprise visit from Gail, who has arrived from Arizona. There is a ceremony as Steve dedicates the plaque to Edward with all the staff around. Meanwhile, Alan drowns his sorrows in booze at the PC grille. Later, Monica arrives to find Alan feeling sorry for himself. He will always only be Edward Quatertmaine's son, never his own man. Monica tries to lift his spirits, but Alan doesn't want her pity. She swears it is not pity. She wants him to come home with her. They arrive at the mansion where there is a reception in full swing. Monica drags a drunk Alan up the stairs. In their room, she puts him to bed. Alan tells her he needs to know if she slept with Ned. He needs the truth! She lies and says no. For once, Alan seems to believe her. He tells her he loves her and they hug.

The Quartermaines are all eating breakfast when Alan & Monica enter, all lovey dovey with each other, and excited about the Fourth of July party they are going to have later. Alan is even cordial to Ned, telling him to invite all his friends to the party. After they leave cheerfully, Tracy runs out, thinking she's going to be sick. Later, Ned has a talk with Monica about Alan. He is glad she and Alan are close again and understands why she lied about their affair. After Ned leaves, Gail arrives to see Monica and asks how that business went with the FBI. Monica tells her that the last thing Alan needs to know right now is that she had a child with an ex-lover. They have a deep conversation and Monica tells her about her affair with Ned months ago.

Meanwhile at GH, Alan apologizes to Dawn about her having heard an argument between him and Monica, thus the reason she left town.

Forth of July party gets underway at the mansion. Alan and Monica are actually happy. Larry wants to play croquet. Tracy pulls Larry aside to tell him he'd better step it up if he wants to get Monica to fall for him. Hasn't he noticed the way she's mooning over her husband. Larry tries to distract Monica so Tracy can talk to Alan. It doesn't work. Eventually, she pulls him aside for a word. She tells him Ned will take over ELQ when the contest is over in November. Alan smiles. Over his dead body! The party continues with everyone watching fireworks. Tracy tells Ashton that maybe Monica will distract Alan so Ned can win the contest. Alan and Monica kiss.

In the morning, Alan and Monica kiss and bounce off to the hospital, leaving Tracy disgusted at their affection. After they leave, she tells Ashton that she suspects Alan is looking to buy Wilson Pharmaceuticals in order to pull the rug out from under their son. They have to do something to stop him.

At GH, Lucy causes a ruckus outside Tony's hospital room when she finds out she can't see him because she's not family. Alan pulls her aside and calms her down. But Lucy gets riled up all over again when she finds out that Tony was hurt while saving Bobbie. Later, Alan meets with Monica in the cafeteria. He tells her how glad he is that they have been able to restore their trust in each other. To prove it, he lets her in on his secret plan to buy Wilson Pharmaceuticals.

At GH, Alan gets suspicious when Amanda mentions to him that she had lunch with Ashton the other day. Alan suspects something is up. He asks Monica to find out what's going on. Monica asks Ned if he has any idea what Tracy and Ashton are up to. He has no idea, but he's surprised at how things have changed between her and Alan. He's happy for her.

At the mansion, Monica reports to Alan that she wasn't able to find out what Tracy is up to. They enter the living room where Tracy and Ashton are and try to prod them to find out something. Everyone is absurdly polite to each other. After Alan and Monica leave, Tracy laughs and gloats to Larry that their plan is working. At the hospital board meeting, Alan and Monica are floored when Amanda nominates Tracy as the new board member to replace Edward. They talk her down to the board, but despite their objections, Tracy wins the vote. Angry, Alan and Monica lash out at Tracy, who is waiting outside the board. They'll get to the bottom of this if it's the last thing they do! Afterwards, Alan & Monica go to Kelly's where they wonder about Tracy's motives for wanting to be on the hospital board. Monica pegs it. It's sabotage. She wants to be close to Alan to keep an eye on what he's doing to undermine Ned.

Alan loses his cool with Avery Wilson of Wilson Pharmaceuticals when the man drops by the mansion. Tracy overhears them arguing and presses her ear to the door. Ashton returns home, complaining about having had to sail the Aphrodite all night long with Amanda Barrington. When Alan comes out of his meeting with Wilson, Tracy tries to get information out of him, but fails. When Monica returns home, Alan tells her that Wilson is stalling the sale. It seems a bigger company has beaten him to the punch with this miracle skin cream he is investing in. He gets an idea to hit the road and push Wilson products at other hospitals around the country. He leaves right away for New York City as Tracy tries to pump Monica for information. Where is Alan going and why? Monica wont tell her a thing. Angry, Tracy goes to Ashton and demands that he try to cozy up to Monica while Alan is away. Later, Monica finds Dawn waiting for Ned. They are going out on the Aphrodite. Ned arrives and invites Monica on the harbor cruise. Monica declines, but Ned keeps insisting, so she agrees.

As Monica prepares to leave for the harbor cruise, Tracy tells her she is coming with. Privately, Tracy orders Larry to work his charm on Monica. She doesn't do well without a man, after all. Ned, Dawn and all their friends arrive. The party on the Aphrodite begins. Ashton tries to work his charm on Monica, but she blows off his pathetic attempt.

Alan & Monica #4    July 26 - October 20, 1989    4 hours

Back to Top

Tracy digs up dirt on Monica, Monica finds out that Dawn is her daughter, Monica goes to St. Louis to bring Dawn back, Alan asks Lucy to spy on Scott, Monica smells a rat (Lucy).

On the Aphrodite, Monica finds Tracy antagonizing Dawn and waits until Dawn goes back inside before asking Tracy what she's up to. Tracy is merely sizing Dawn up, and has her pegged as a gold-digger. Later, the Aphrodite makes a pass by Spoon Island. Monica finds Dawn gazing out at Wyndamire. Later, Monica confesses to Gail that Wyndamire resembles the convent where she grew up -- and where she gave birth to her daughter.

Tracy and Ashton show up at GH looking for Ned. They are both slightly frantic because Ned did not come home last night. Monica (who is just coming out of an all night surgery) tells Tracy she doesn't know where Ned and Dawn are, and frankly she doesn't care. Later, however, Monica joins Tracy and Ashton on the docks with Robert and Guy Lewis to try to figure out where Ned went. Robert gets word that Ned went to Spoon Island. Monica realizes that they went to Wyndamire. They all go out to the creepy mansion and find Ned and Dawn coming in from a swim. Apparently, they got stranded there last night. Tracy accuses Dawn of setting it all up to entice Ned. Monica yells at Tracy and they both scream at each other until Robert breaks them up. When the Q's return to the mansion, Tracy and Ashton move off to the living room to bicker. Ned calls Dawn to make sure she's okay. Dawn is just worried about Monica. Ned tells her not to worry. Monica can go up against Tracy on her worst day. After they hang up, Dawn looks at her birth certificate, which proves that Monica is her mother.

Monica goes back to Wyndamire with Gail to look around. She is brought back to her youth at the convent where she grew up. She talks to Gail about when she found out she was pregnant, and her decision to give up the child. She wonders about her daughter and hopes she did the right thing. Meanwhile, Alan returns home from his trip. Tracy tries to find out what he's up to, but he wont tip his hand. Later, Tracy is eavesdropping on Alan's phone call to Wilson (she hears Alan talking about "Jordan"and wonders what it is) when Monica and Gail arrive back at the mansion. After Alan greets his wife, Monica tells them that she went back out to Wyndamire because it reminds her of her childhood. When Tracy and Ashton are left alone, they get busy trying to find out what Alan was talking about on the phone. What is Jordan? Tracy realizes it's Jordan Pharmaceuticals, a competitor of Wilson.

At GH, Alan tells Monica how he pitched Wilson products to all the other hospitals and single-handedly saved the deal, thereby beating Jordan to the punch. Monica is proud of him. Meanwhile, Tracy listens to Dawn talking to Ned about being adopted in St. Louis, and that she grew up in a convent that looks exactly like Wyndamire. Tracy realizes there is an connection between Monica and Dawn. Armed with info, she tells Ashton they are going to St Louis to dig up some dirt.

Tracy and Ashton arrive in St Louis dressed as a priest and a nun. They go to the convent and meet with Sister Agatha. After talking to the sister, they find out that she alone carries the keys to where the files are locked up. Ashton distracts her while Tracy snatches the keys off the desk. But no time for a victory dance. Sister Agatha informs them they will be participating in prayer time, in which the nuns meditate all night long. Tracy and Ashton look at each other. All night?

In St. Louis, Ashton is a little worse for wear after an all night prayer session. He is yawning and complaining that he can't take this place anymore. Tracy is determined to stay until they get something on Monica. Ashton is intrigued when the sister wants him to hear the other sisters' confessions. While he's off doing that, Tracy snoops through files. When Ashton returns, he grumbles that he had to get away from that confessional. He just couldn't do it! When Sister Agatha returns, Tracy spills tea all over her to send her out of the room so that she can get the file on Monica. At the airport, Tracy tells Ashton what she found out: Monica had a child before she met Alan, and that child is Dawn.

Meanwhile, Monica visits Wyndamire again and jumps when someone comes in behind her. It's Dawn, who has come for the same reason: because it reminds her of her childhood, but she doesn't tell Monica that. She says she's trying to find a ring she lost. They chat, and then leave together. Later, Dawn is in her room looking at her birth certificate again. She leaves it out on the dresser when she leaves with Prunella. Back at the mansion, Monica tells Gail about her encounter with Dawn at Wyndamire. It seems to Gail that they are both drawn there. They talk about Monica's long lost daughter. At GH, Dawn approaches as Monica is talking to Alan, who wants her to be in on the Dermistatin project with him. Dawn overhears them talking about how great their marriage is and how they've never been closer. If she was going to tell Monica the truth, she certainly isn't now. She walks away. Later, however, Monica discovers the truth when she goes into Dawn's room to leave her a note and finds the birth certificate. She is so stunned she nearly falls down. Dawn is her Daughter!

Monica rushes home, dying to spill her news to Gail, but they don't get a chance to talk because the entire family converges, including Tracy and Ashton, who can't wait to drop their bomb on Monica. But everyone is hushed when Ned announces that he has bought Spoon Island for Dawn. Alan and Tracy have a cow. How could he throw their money away like that!? Alan realizes that Ned has just tanked his own position at ELQ and thanks him. There's no way he's going to win that bet in November! Tracy starts to tell everyone about Monica's secret, but everyone has already left the room. Later, Monica excitedly tells Gail what she has discovered. Dawn is her daughter!

Monica meets with Ned and Dawn at Kelly's. Dawn thanks her for replacing the friendship ring that she lost. When Alan arrives, he and Monica move to their own table. Alan is puzzled as to why Monica felt it was her responsibility to replace Dawn's ring, and why she's always so motherly towards Dawn. After all, Dawn is in the enemy camp. Monica tells him that he must stop seeing Ned as his enemy. Alan corrects her: that's exactly what Ned is. And he wont let his guard down until this competition is over.

At GH, Alan and Monica run into each other. Monica is exhausted after a difficult surgery. Alan tells her to go home and sleep before he calls a medivac van to take her there. After Monica leaves, Lucy pulls Alan aside to tell him about Tracy's finders fee from the sale of the tankers. Alan gets smoking mad. So that's what Tracy's been up to with Van Buren! He really enjoys the thought that Tracy will be on the hot seat during the police investigation. Later, Alan fumes when Lucy returns to report that Tracy made five million dollars off the deal.

Alan and Monica confront Tracy about her tanker scheme. They thourally enjoy watching her squirm. Scott arrives to tell Tracy that the police have frozen her bank accounts. Tracy must explain to an angry Lila why she made the deal with Van Buren.

Alan and Tracy bicker at the mansion, which Lila gets tired of listening to. She proposes they have a family dinner, and perhaps they should invite a guest, since that seems to put them on their best behavior (. . . maybe not.) Lila asks Ned to invite that nice girl Dawn. Tracy quips that Dawn has been hanging around so much she's beginning to feel like family. When Alan goes to GH, he runs into Lucy and asks for more information on Tracy. He wants to know if the law can get her on anything. Lucy promises to keep working on it. When Alan returns home, all the Q's gather for a tense dinner. Ned and Alan make jabs at each other, as do Tracy and Monica. Dawn seems overwhelmed by it all. Lila gets fed up and leaves the table.

At GH, Monica and Dawn congratulate Bobbie on the adoption of her baby. After that, Monica accompanies Dawn and Ned to sign the final paper on the deed to Wyndamire. When she returns to GH, Gail tries to convince her to tell Dawn that she knows the truth. Monica wants to wait for Dawn to approach her. Later, Alan runs into Lucy at the hospital and gives her bracelet to say thank you for helping him by getting him the info on Tracy. Lucy is wowed by his gesture of gratitude and is only too happy to accept.

Alan tells Monica he is leaving for Vermont to supervise the move for the Dermistatin lab to Port Charles. Meanwhile, Tracy and Ashton make plans to convince the chemist working on the formula to double cross Alan and give Dermistatin to them. Tracy heads off to the airport. On the plane, she is surprised when Alan sits next to her.

At GH, Monica runs into Ned and Dawn. Dawn is upset about how much the Wyndamire renovations are costing. Iona calls Ned and invites him and Dawn to Duke's club and tells them to bring with whomever they want. Ned asks Monica, who accepts. Later, Monica and Dawn go to Wyndam's to shop for a cocktail dress. Lucy (who is trying on a dress) overhears them talking about their plans to go to Duke's later, and calls Iona to get herself and Scott invited. Later, Monica, Dawn, Gail and Ned arrive at Duke's and find Lucy at their table. Lucy keeps firing questions about the Wyndamire deal, which makes everyone uncomfortable. Later, Monica and Gail talk about the evening at home while having a night cap. Gail thinks Monica should share what she knows with Dawn, but Monica wants to wait for Dawn to come to her.

Monica talks to Alan on the phone. He's still in Vermont, but his trip is going well. As she hangs up, Tracy returns from her trip to DC in a crabby mood. Apparently she didn't have any luck getting her five million, and is convinced that Alan is going to win the bet.

At GH, Tracy meets with David McAllister to discuss fundraising. First she is giving him a tour of the hospital. Monica quips to David that he surely wont get lost with Tracy hanging on his arm.

At the mansion, the whole family is gathered, minus Alan, who is still out of town. Tracy and Monica trade barbs. Ned is angry because his motorcycle has been stolen. Dawn arrives, and Monica fawns all over her. Tracy and Ashton huddle together to discuss their fundraising dilemma at GH.

At GH, Lucy watches from afar as Tracy introduces David McAllister to Amanda Barrington. After they walk away, Lucy ups to Amanda and nominates herself to head the fundraising position for the hospital. Amanda doesn't think that would be such a good idea. The hospital shouldn't really align itself with someone with such a "propensity for scandal," should they? Alan turns out to be a no-show at the board meeting. Tracy claims she has not been able to reach him. Lucy overhears this and calls Alan to get his proxy for the board meeting. She lies to him and tells him she can't find Monica anywhere (even though Monica is walking right past her!). Alan agrees to give her his proxy but she must vote against Tracy.

Tracy chats with David before the board meeting begins. Meanwhile, Monica gets livid when she finds out that Lucy has Alan's proxy for the vote. Tracy overhears and uses the situation to blackmail Lucy. She surmises that Alan has directed Lucy to vote against her, so she turns the tables and tells Lucy to vote WITH her, or else she'll spill what she knows. Subsequently, Tracy wins the vote.

Alan returns home and happily informs Tracy that Wilson Pharmisudical is moving to PC and he is well on his way to winning the bet with Ned and taking over ELQ. He has one slight problem, however: Monica is miffed that he gave his proxy to Lucy. Is he really that gullible? They argue a bit and Monica walks out. Afterwards, Tracy and Alan trade insults. Later at GH, Alan confronts Lucy about conning him to get his proxy and then voting with Tracy. Lucy covers -- she claims that Tracy threatened to spread rumors about them, and she didn't want anything to ruin his relationship with Monica because they are getting on so well now . . . (lame). Duped, Alan buys it and walks off with her as Scott comes around the corner and seems them together. Alan finds Monica to explain why he gave Lucy is proxy, but she doesn't want to hear it.

At GH, Steve asks Alan to meet with him in his office, where he tells him that he's concerned Alan has been putting his personal interests ahead of the hospital lately. Alan agrees with Steve and offers to step down as assistant chief of staff so that Steve can replace him. Afterwards, Alan asks Lucy to have dinner with him at Duke's to talk "business". When they arrive, Lucy spots Scott and Tracy sharing a table and bolts, telling Alan that she doesn't think they should be seen together. Alan walks up to the bar and chats with Walt. On their way out, Scott and Tracy overhear Walt (who is a chemist) talking to Sam about how he needs to make some big bucks, and fast. Scott looks at Tracy. Looks like they just found their dupe!

Alan and Tracy argue at the mansion. Alan tells her that he is resigning as Assistant Chief of Staff so that he can devote more time to his company. Monica hears this and blows up at Alan. What is he thinking? Later, Monica gripes to Gail about what Alan did. He is giving up everything he ever cared about to win that stupid bet! Gail assures her that things will go back to normal eventually. At GH, Alan corners David and asks to meet with him about his fundraising plans for GH. Tracy overhears them and sticks her nose in, then tags along as they have lunch in the cafeteria. Alan finds it very interesting to learn that Tracy solicited McAllister's services. Later, Alan sits with Monica in the lounge and tells her what he found out. Monica just wants this bet to be over so they can all get back to normal.

At GH, Lucy gets a flower from a secret admirer and assumes it's from Alan. Later, she flirts with Alan to express her gratitude, but he is puzzled by her attention. Meanwhile, Dawn stops by the mansion to see Ned but runs into Tracy instead. Tracy sits her down and fills her head with a bunch of nonsense about being a financial burden to Ned. She suggests that perhaps Dawn should leave town for a while to give Ned a chance to think . . .

At GH, an angry Ned confronts Tracy about convincing Dawn to leave town. How could she manipulate that sweet girl! Monica walks by and finds out what's going on. After bawling Tracy out, Monica tells Ned that she thinks she knows where Dawn might have gone. Meanwhile, Alan cozies up to Lucy and asks her find out what Scott is cooking up with Tracy. He really needs to know. Lucy is eager to oblige him. Alan runs into Monica as she's leaving the hospital. She is on her way out of town to find Dawn. Alan begs her to stay. He needs her to head up the Dermistatin lab! Monica apologizes, but leaves anyway. Lucy returns to Alan later and tells him she struck out in getting any information on Scott. She tries to wrangle a dinner invitation, but Alan is too busy.

Monica arrives in St. Louis and finds Dawn at the convent where she grew up. Dawn is shocked to see her. She knows, doesn't she? Monica nods. She knows Dawn is her daughter. She explains how she found out and they hug (bonding moment). Afterwards, she tells Dawn why she gave her up for adoption in the first place, and that her father was killed in Vietnam. She convinces Dawn to come back to PC and rebuild Wyndamire with her.

Meanwhile, Lucy talks to Alan at GH and tries to get him to invite her to dinner again, but he's too busy raving about how Monica has left town just when he needs her the most. He's fed up with her!

At GH, Monica fills Gail in on what happened in St. Louis, but admits that she only told Dawn half the truth. She told her that her father was dead when in fact he is alive. Later, Alan argues with Monica about her sudden trip. Why is Dawn so important to her? Doesn't she get that he needs her help to win the bet? Monica barks at him that she's sick and tired of the bet and walks away. Alan then runs into Walt and hints that he might be useful to him in the Dermistatin lab.

At the mansion, Monica and Dawn tell the rest of the family about the progress that is being made at Wyndamire. Alan gets ticked when Monica blows off looking at his research for Dermistatin. They step into the foyer to argue about Monica's obsession with Dawn. Dawn is all she ever cares about! Alan storms off and Dawn comes to Monica to apologize for causing all this trouble. Monica hushes her. She is her daughter and she loves her, and pretty soon the whole world will know it. Meanwhile, Alan goes to Duke's and sits at the bar. He leers when Tracy arrives with David McAllister. Later, Lucy walks up to him and whispers how excited she is about their impending rendezvous (she mistakenly thinks that Alan has been sending her anonymous notes). Tracy returns home later and cant help but mention to Monica that she spotted Alan at Duke's with Lucy.

Alan and Monica run into each other at Kelly's. Alan is peeved that Monica's not working on his formula, and Monica is mad about his fling with Lucy last night. She storms away. Meanwhile at GH, Lucy gets a flower with a note to meet at the Q boathouse. She thinks it's from Alan and runs off the hairdresser. Monica barges into Lucy's office to confront her about Alan, but Lucy's not there. Monica sees all of the flowers Lucy has been getting along with all of the anonymous notes . . . And a notepad of Lucy's doodles -- Mrs. Quartermaine. Later, Monica finds Alan and pulls him aside. How dare he have an affair with Lucy Coe! Alan denies the accusation, but Monica throws Susan Moore in his face and how she thought she was the most despicable human being. He hasn't changed! Alan returns home in a bad mood and tries to call Lucy, but she doesn't answer. She thinks it's Scott calling. David McAllister and Jimmy O'Hurley arrive to discuss using Wyndamire for a Halloween party. Alan pulls Monica aside to tell her once more that he is NOT having an affair with Lucy, but Monica doesn't believe him.

Alan & Monica #5    October 20 - December 4, 1989    4 hours

Back to Top

Alan helps Lucy hide Victor's body, Halloween party, Victor washes up at Spoon Island, Alan and Lucy's affair, A new love nest, Tracy sets Monica up, Alan calls Monica out on Thanksgiving.

The Quatermaines discuss using Wyndamire as a haunted mansion for a Halloween party next week. In the meantime, Lucy sneaks past the window and arrives at the boathouse, where she gets herself fixed up for her tryst with Alan. Come on out, dear! Her secret admirer emerges, but it's not Alan . . . It's Victor Jerome!

At the Quartermaine boathouse, Lucy is stunned to come face to face with Victor Jerome! He professes his undying love for her and tells her of his plans for them to live in a tropical paradise. He presents a pendant to her with their names inscribed, and a handful of diamonds that they can use to finance their life of leisure. Lucy is terrified of him and tries to discourage him. Victor gets the message that she wants nothing to do with him. He accuses her of having played him for a fool. He takes the pendant and swallows it whole, then starts choking! Lucy panics and runs for help, finding Alan on the grounds. She pulls him back to the boathouse where they find Victor dead on the floor. Lucy panics and explains to Alan that Victor choked on a pendant with her name engraved on it. Alan tries to retrieve the pendant, but it's too far down his throat. He decides to hide the body. He leaves to prepare the freezer. In the meantime, Lucy gets spooked by Victors staring eyes and closes them. Then she finds the diamonds and hides them.

Robert, Anna and Frisco arrive at the mansion to search for Victor (they got a lead on him). Lila tells Robert about a homeless man that came by looking for work at the boathouse. They suspect it was one of Victor Jerome's aids and head down to the boathouse to search. In the meantime, Alan and Lucy hoist Victor's body into a wheel barrel and wheel him away. We see that the homeless man has been hiding in the boathouse. He sees them move the body. Robert, Anna and Frisco search the boathouse but find nothing. Meanwhile, Alan hides Victor's body in the freezer. He is almost caught by Tracy and Ashton, who are looking for ice cream. Tracy gets suspicious of Alan. Why is he so jumpy? Afterwards, Alan returns to the house, where Monica tells him he missed all the excitement. Alan assures her he didn't miss anything . . .

The next morning, Scott wakes Lucy up from a nightmare, thinking that Victor's escape from jail is what's got her so spooked. The phone rings and Lucy picks it up. It's Alan. He tells her he can't dump the body. He wants to turn it over to the police and come clean. Lucy can't talk now, so she hangs up and tells Scott it was her hair dresser on the phone. After Scott leaves, she calls Alan back and arranges to meet him, but Alan is convinced that she wont be able to change her mind. Monica walks in on the end of Alan's phone call, but doesn't hear what he's talking about. She asks to ride with him to GH, but he gets jumpy. No, she can't! Monica thinks he's jumpy because he's covering up an affair, but Alan insists he's not sleeping with Lucy! Monica is hardly convinced. She goes to GH, where she complains to Gail about Alan's infidelity. Gail reminds her of the whole Ned thing. Alan wouldn't be the only unfaithful one, would he? Monica insists that her affair was entirely different!

Meanwhile, Alan and Lucy meet at a shady hotel, where Lucy gets teary-eyed and tells him he's right about turning themselves in. He shouldn't worry about what she's going to have to deal with . . . After heaping the guilt on, she wraps herself around him and they end up in bed. Just as Lucy plans, Alan changes his mind and insists that they get rid of Victor's body and cover up his death. Later, they dump Victor's body in the harbor, but unknown to them, someone is watching from afar.

Alan and Lucy wake up in each other's arms. Alan rushes to get dressed so that he can return before Monica misses him. At GH, Monica pulls Alan aside and tells him that she's sorry -- she understands why this bet with Ned is so important to him, and she sorry she accused him of having an affair. She must have been crazy to think he would sleep with Lucy Coe! Alan swallows. Later, Lucy and Alan talk on the phone. Alan assures Lucy that everything will be okay. He only prays that Victor's body stays at the bottom of the harbor. Meanwhile, we see Emil, Victor's aid, dressed in diving gear pulling the body out of the water. He searches it, and apparently doesn't find what he's looking for (diamonds?). He throws the body back in the water without weighing it down.

At GH, Alan and Lucy meet in a supply closet for some nookie.

Lucy and Scott board the Aphrodite dressed up for the Halloween party at Wyndamire. Others arrive, including Monica and Alan. Lucy and Alan avoid looking at each other. Monica snipes at Lucy. She's dressed as a blood-sucker. How fitting! At the party, Lucy latches onto Alan and drags him away for a private smooch on the ship, but they must quickly dress and split up when Monica shows up looking for Alan. In order to cover what he was doing back on the ship, Alan claims he wants to go back to the lab to work on his formula. Monica agrees to go with him. Meanwhile we see Walt enter the lab and search for the files on Dermistatin. When Alan and Monica arrive, Walt bolts. Alan discovers files sitting out that should have been locked up. He suspects someone was trying to steal the formula. Tracy must be behind this!

Back at the Halloween party, Robin and her friend Rowdy find Victor Jerome's body washed up on the shore of the island. They think it is a party prop, but Robert and Anna know better and send the children away. Lucy stumbles in on this and is shocked to see Victor's dead body. Robert calms her down. Lucy returns to the mansion, but doesn't mention anything to Scott about the body. She tries to call Alan, but can't get through to him.

Alan and Monica return home, where Monica can't wait to jump into bed. Alan keeps putting her off. Wouldn't she like a snack first? A police offers comes over to tell them that they will no longer be watching the grounds because Victor Jerome's body was found at Spoon Island. Monica wonders how Victor died. Alan jumps. What is she asking him for?! He then runs off to the hospital, insisting he must perform the autopsy. Monica surmises that he's just trying to avoid going to bed with her. At GH, Alan tries to cut the pendant out of Victor's throat, but has to stop when Robert walks in. Alan paces nervously as Walt arrives to begin the autopsy. Lucy calls. Alan tells her the autopsy is in progress. He doesn't know anything yet.

Alan hangs around the hospital with Sean and Anna, who are waiting for the results of the autopsy. Lucy arrives at GH and huddles with Alan to find out what's going on. Alan doesn't know anything yet. He tells her to they can't be seen together. Sean and Anna are very bright and will put two and two together! Walt comes out with the results. He's found something very strange . . . Anna and Sean look at the report and walk off without saying what's in it. Lucy panics, thinking they found the pendant. Alan calms her down and promises he'll find out what Walt found. Later, Alan gets a chance to call Lucy. He tells her that the pendant was NOT found in Victor's throat. Lucy is relieved, thinking that their problems are over, but Alan tells her that the police are very suspicious about Victor's death. He has lacerations in his throat, and they know he was dead before he hit the water. Lucy is distraught.

At the mansion, all of the Q's read the newspaper article about Victor (Tracy is temporarily recast). Alan is nervous, which everyone notices. He thinks Victor got what he deserved. Monica asks Alan what's bothering him. Nothing, he snaps. They then spar with Tracy over the Dermistatin formula. Alan and Monica boast that they are ready to put their miracle cream on the market. Tracy thinks they are trying to psych her out.

Lucy finds Alan at GH and drapes herself all over him, but they quickly separate when Monica walks by. Monica lets Alan have it. If he's having a fling with that little tramp, she will ruin him!

Tracy arrives at GH with donations for the rummage sale (actually, it is clothing that belongs to Alan & Monica). Alan arrives full of quips. Is she selling her wardrobe to help her little boy out of his financial trouble? Tracy fires back by bringing up Lucy. How is she, by the way?

Alan arrives at his motel hideaway with Lucy, where she smothers him with kisses and tells him that she can't stand to be without him another minute. Then she tells him that Scott tried to force himself on her, and she wants to move out of the apartment because she can't stand the thought of being with another man after she's been with him. Alan puts wads of money in her hands and succumbs to her seduction.

The next morning, Alan awakens and screams, "Oh No!"He's been out all night! He starts getting dressed, telling Lucy that he should be able to explain his absence to Monica by telling her that he was working in the lab all night. He runs off. At GH, Alan isn't having much luck with his lie. Monica doesn't believe for a minute that he was working at his desk all night. Alan contends that someone is trying to steal his formula (he's right, of course).

At the Q mansion, Lila talks to Edward's ghost, telling him she has organized a dinner party to get the whole family together. Good idea, right? Edward hardly thinks so. Dawn arrives, as do Scott and Gale. Everyone wonders where Alan is. Meanwhile, Lucy and Alan dine at the PC grille, where Lucy tells him that she moved back in with Scott -- but she did it for him! If she stays holed up at a motel, Monica may get suspicious. Alan thanks her for understanding the delicate situation between him and Monica. Back at the Quartermaines, Tracy razzes Monica about her husband's extra-curricular activities. He's so hard to keep track of these days, isn't he? Lila keeps "talking" to Edward the entire evening. Alan eventually shows up, and he's got a surprise -- the finished product of Dermistatin! He calls it Insta-Lift. Apparently it's a face cream to improve beauty overnight. He invites all the ladies to try it before they go to bed. Tracy refuses to be a guinea pig. Lucy arrives, making it awkward for everyone. It's quite obvious she was late because she was with Alan.

Alan calls Lucy. He gives her an address and tells her to get there right away. Unfortunately, Olivia (who is hiding behind the desk) gets the address and follows Lucy. When Lucy arrives, Alan shows her the surprise; he has leased a new apartment they can share! Lucy loves it, and they celebrate while Olivia listens from the hallway. After Alan leaves, Lucy takes her diamonds out to drool over them again.

Meanwhile, it's chaos at the Quartermaine's when Monica, Tracy, Lila and Gail all wake up with green faces after using Insta-Lift. Alan is a DEAD man! Monica runs to the phone to try to get a hold of him while the others panic. What if they get stuck this way?! They decide to head to GH to see a dermatologist while Ashton gets a good laugh over the whole thing. At GH, Scott sees the girls and calls them "walking pickles." Finally Alan shows up. Ashton has to hold Tracy back to keep her from charging him. The girls let him have it. What is he going to do about this? Walt comes to the rescue. He knows what chemicals can cause such a reaction and how to fix it.

At Wilson Pharmaceutical, Alan and Monica argue in the lab while Walt pretends to be working on the formula. Lucy calls Alan, but he pretends it's a wrong number. Monica glares . . . Dawn arrives, much to Alan's annoyance. He doesn't want so many people in his lab! Monica reminds him that even slaves eat. How about dinner? Alan complains, but agrees to take them to Duke's. When they arrive, Alan is not exactly the life of the party, constantly insisting that they hurry and eat so that they can get back to work.

Alan accuses Ned of conspiring with Tracy to steal his formula. They are the ones who have been breaking into his lab, haven't they? Ned denies the accusation and goes off to confront his mother. Afterwards, Alan tries to explain to Monica why the contest means so much to him: it's all about gaining his father's approval. Jennings inturrupts to tell Alan that a "Rhonda"is calling for him (Lucy). Alan tells Jennings to say he isn't home. He tells Monica that Rhonda is a patient who's driving him crazy, calling him all the time.

Meanwhile, Walt arrives at the mansion to give Tracy something -- he has half the formula. He gives the files to Tracy for safe-keeping. She decides to hide the file in Ashton's sitting room, but drops one of the papers in the hallway. Uh-oh . . .

At GH, Alan and Tracy taunt each other over the ELQ contest. Later at the mansion, Alan almost picks up the formula page in the hallway, but a maid gets it instead.

Monica and Gail are looking at Simone's newborn baby boy in the GH nursery when Jennings brings the missing formula page to Monica. He found it in the trash and thought it might be important. Monica thanks he and he runs off. A moment later, Alan walks by and sees Monica with the formula page. Paranoid, he jumps to the wrong conclusion. It was her all along, wasn't it! They argue about it, and Monica convinces him that she really DID get it from Jennings. Alan sighs and figures it was Tracy. Later, Tracy listens in on Alan and Monica as they argue about Dawn. She gets an idea: she knows how to humiliate Alan so bad that he'll crawl away from this contest . . .

Thanksgiving at the Quartermaine's. Dawn joins the family for dinner. Tracy watches with interest as Monica heads upstairs to get Alan. Meanwhile, Alan finds Dawn's birth certificate and the formula in Monica's dresser. Seeing red, he heads downstairs to give the Thanksgiving toast. He aims harsh words at Dawn -- Monica's bastard daughter who has conspired with her mother to deprive him of his rightful place at ELQ! He reveals what he has found in Monica's dresser while Tracy grins. Monica pulls him aside and reams him for humiliating her daughter like that. How dare he?! She tells him she never conspired against him. Someone has set her up! Alan wont listen to reason. He warns her that he's going to take her down and storms out. Monica tells the rest of the Q's that Dawn is her daughter. That much of Alan's accusation is true, but she did not betray him and vows to find the person who set her up. Meanwhile, Alan goes to Lucy's apartment, undoubtedly to unload, but she is nowhere to be found.

The next morning, Monica and Dawn are talking on the couch when Alan walks in. So what plan are they hatching against him now? Monica fires right back at him. Where was he all night? He tells her it's none of her business and storms out. Later, Ned arrives. Monica and Dawn tell him the big news. Dawn is Monica's daughter. Ned thinks they are joking, but they assure him it's true. Ned starts to panic -- he has just bought up a ton of stock in Jordan chemical, and he did it under Dawn's name. He has just substantiated Alan's accusation!

Meanwhile, Tracy antagonizes Alan at GH. Returning to work so soon after his world blew apart, is he? Ned shows up, and Tracy asks him where he was yesterday. He missed the Thanksgiving to end all Thanksgivings. Ned clues her in: he has been buying up all of the Jordan Chemical stock. Tracy's eyes bulge. He did WHAT? Monica confronts Tracy about planting the birth certificate and formula in her dresser. She wont get away with it!

Lucy arrives at her new apartment, and Alan walks in seconds behind her (sidetracking her plan to snatch the diamonds). They have a quickie. Meanwhile, Scott shows up and watches Alan and Lucy through a grate in the next apartment. After Alan leaves, Lucy pulls out her diamonds as Scott watches.

At the mansion, Tracy is giggling about the outcome of events as Ned storms in. He has lost his girl because of her and Alan might have them all thrown in jail! Tracy scoffs at that, but Alan comes downstairs and announces that he is taking legal action against them for industrial espionage. He will see them all rot in jail if it's the last thing he does! He storms out. Later, Dawn comes by to show Monica her bank statement. There is a ton of money in her bank account that doesn't belong there. Dawn accuses Ned of depositing the money, but he denies it.

At the hospital, Monica, Gail and Dawn talk about Alan. They've never seen him so mad about anything. Ned walks up and tells them he hasn't been able to unload that stock yet. That means trouble for them all. Alan arrives and announces that he is putting a halt on the ELQ contest until a full investigation into the can be completed. Smoke that! He goes to Lucy's office to love up to her and tell her that he's going to rid himself of Monica soon and then they will be together. When he leaves Lucy's office, Monica sees him. Uh-oh! Monica marches in and hurls threats at Lucy. Stay away from Alan or she'll take her name off the bathroom wall and put it where it'll get some real notice! Lucy tells her that it's not her fault Monica can't hold onto her man and storms out.

Monica and Gail arrive at the charity auction together. They chat about Alan. He's simply convinced that Monica betrayed him and there's nothing she can do about it. Alan arrives in a foul mood. Tracy hobnobs with Ashton. After the auction, Tracy can't help but rub it in Alan's nose that Monica seems to have run off on him. Alan shrugs. She's probably off with Ned trying to get themselves out of the hole they've dug. Later, Alan has drinks at Duke's with a lawyer to get legal advise about his espionage case, but he can't keep his eyes off Lucy, who is dancing with Scott.

Alan & Monica #6    December 5, 1989 - January 30, 1990    4 hours

Back to Top

Surprising turn of events at ELQ, Monica sets a trap for Tracy, Alan tries to make amends, Monica gets the goods on Tracy, Alan squeezes Tracy out of ELQ, Dawn moves into the mansion.

Alan and Monica are at home reading the newspaper. Monica giggles about Lucy's predicament with the diamonds. She claims that someone threw them into her car. How ridiculous. Alan assures her he couldn't care less. Monica tells him again that she didn't betray him. She was framed! Alan doesn't believe that for a minute and storms out. At GH, Monica confronts Walt. She accuses him of being the rat who sabotaged Alan's formula. Walt denies it, but Monica warns him that if he did do it, he wont get away with it! Later, Alan finds Lucy to talk about the diamonds. What's going on?! He is also slightly perturbed that she went to Scott for help, not him. Lucy brushes him off to avoid getting into it.

Lila tries to reason with Alan about the upcoming board meeting where he plans on telling the board about Monica and Ned's industrial espionage. Alan has no intention of backing down. Lucy calls for Alan (as "Rhonda"), but Alan ducks out without taking her call. Lucy later meets up with him at GH. She wants to meet later at the apartment, but Alan declines. He has to prepare for the big board meeting tomorrow. After he walks away, Lucy reads Walt's note to Tracy and realizes she has found something very incriminating. She puts Monica's name on the envelope (to make it appear as though she was in cahoots with Walt) and sticks it in Alan's mail slot for him to find.

Alan talks to Lila on the phone. She implores him to reconsider bringing Monica before the board, and nearly has him convinced, but then Alan finds Walt's letter to Monica (the one Lucy planted) in his mail slot. The letter makes it appear as though Monica had hired Walt to steal the formula. Disgusted, Alan immediately tried to contact Walt, but finds that he has left GH, and apparently Port Charles.

It's the big board meeting at ELQ: Alan calls Lila at home and tells her that he has taken her advise into consideration, but he must do what he must do. Upset, Lila converses with Edward's ghost. This is all his fault! He must do something to fix it. Edward admits his little prank has gone too far and asks to see his tackle box -- the one that was pulled out of the water after the plane crash. He can put an end to all of this. Meanwhile at ELQ, Alan brings Ned and Monica before the ELQ board, presenting his new evidence against Monica, namely, the clandestine letter from Walt. Monica denies having been in cahoots with Walt. Lila interrupts the meeting. She presents Edward's tackle box and claims that she can settle this whole mess with what's inside. She makes everyone wait for Tracy to show up. Alan is impatient, so Lila reveals that inside the box is Edward's final codicil to his will -- making the one on record null and void. When Tracy arrives, Lila reads the new codicil. Apparently, Edward wrote it knowing that his plane was in trouble, and wanted to clear up the earlier codicil, which was just a prank to rile them up. It is his final wish that Tracy and Alan will share ELQ presidency with Ned to serve as the treasurer. Alan gripes that he doesn't want Ned as the treasurer and they all argue. Lila tells them to suck it up and do as Edward wished.

Alan finds Monica at GH to tell her about the newly found codicil to Edward's will. He apologizes for everything he has been accusing her of lately. Is there any chance they could bury the hatchet? Monica is furious with him for the accusations he has made. She is going to prove that she was set up if it's the last thing she does! She storms away. Lucy (who had been eavesdropping) ups to Alan to comfort him, but he brushes her off and walks away. Later, Lucy meets up with Scott later in the cafeteria. He knows how she can repay him for keeping her out of the hoosegow -- he wants Lucy to lean on Alan to get him the legal council spot at ELQ.

At the Gatehouse, Monica tells Ned that she wants to throw Dawn a birthday party to announce to the world that she is her mother. Their conversation gets sappy and Monica hugs Ned -- which Dawn sees through the window. She gets upset and runs off.

Alan arrives at the love nest, where Lucy slobbers him with kisses and talks to him about divorcing Monica. Alan tells her he must straighten out ELQ first. The last thing he wants to do right now is talk . . . Meanwhile, Monica runs into Dawn at GH. She can tell that Dawn has something on her mind. Dawn comes right out with it. Did she and Ned ever have an affair? Monica barely blinks. No, of course not! Afterwards, Monica feels guilty about lying and vents to Gail. She had no choice, she had to lie! Ned comes to report that he had no luck proving that Tracy was behind the deposit into Dawn's bank account. Monica gets an idea of how to expose Tracy and walks over to the payphone to call Sister Agatha in St. Louis. Would the sister like to pay a visit to Port Charles?

Tracy and Ashton are having a jolly breakfast at home when they find out from Jennings that Sister Agatha will be coming to the mansion for the visit. Oh no, is it a coincidence or is Monica onto them? They realize they must get out of town for the holidays and fast!

At the mansion, Monica anxiously awaits the arrival of sister Agatha so that she can blow Tracy out of the water. Gail informs her that Tracy has gone AWOL. Monica is disappointed. The one time she actually wanted Tracy here. . . Monica gets called away to the hospital, but later returns for dinner. No one has seen Tracy. Jennings reports that both Tracy and Larry have left with overnight bags. Ned jokes that where ever they went, they didn't go together. Monica knows exactly why the chickens flew the coop. Later, Robert and Frisco arrive looking for Tracy. It seems David McAllister has been shot.

Meanwhile, Alan and Lucy make love at their little love nest (they still don't have a bed). Alan tells her he has ordered furniture. Lucy is flying high and until he tells her that he can't divorce Monica right away -- he must wait at least until after Christmas. Alan starts talking about the SCC investigation he is launching into Ned and Monica. Lucy segways into suggesting Scott to head up ELQ legal council. She is pleased when Alan seems to like the idea.

Tracy is angry when Amanda asks her to step down from the hospital board in light of this murder investigation. Alan is there to gloat. She's the one who brought McAllister to the board in the first place. She ought to be the one to clean up the mess. Later, Alan tries to butter up Monica, but she wants nothing to do with him. She is still determined to clear her name of the nasty accusations he made. Ned arrives to speak to Monica. He is angry because Dawn has gone ahead to plan a New Year's Eve party at Wyndamire without talking to him about it first. Monica reminds Ned that they must keep their past affair a secret from Dawn at all costs. When Dawn arrives, Monica questions her about the party. Does she enjoy working with Decker?

At GH, Alan asks Monica why she wont go to the New Year's Eve party with him. Monica contends that he only wants to go with her to protect his precious public image. How dare he expect her to be the dutiful wife after the horrible accusations he made about her and her daughter? Alan shrugs. He thought it was true. Monica slaps him across the face. Happy new year, Alan! Wounded, Alan goes to see Lucy and they hit the sheets (they actually have a bed now). Lucy continues to push Alan to hire Scott. She insinuates that Scott would be very useful to him if kept close. She is making good progress when Scott calls. He's on his way over, so get rid of the old boob!

At Duke's, Alan joins Larry and Tracy for a New Year's Eve celebration. Tracy quips that Alan is out a wife and a mistress, eh? Later, Scott joins Alan. Alan makes him an offer to work for ELQ (thanks to Lucy planting the idea in his head). Alan also wants to talk about the espionage case he is building against Monica and Ned. Would Scott be interested in representing him?

At the mansion, Tracy is upset about a newspaper headline featuring her on the front page. Alan rubs her nose in it. She thought she was going to skate in light of Robert's death, didn't she? Monica is busy planning Dawn's party, but says loudly what a shame it is that Sister Agatha wont be able to make it. Tracy breathes a sigh. She's in enough trouble. Privately, Ashton confesses to Monica that he and Tracy dressed up as a priest and a nun in order to get the birth certificate from Sister Agatha in St. Louis. Monica pretty much knew that, but how on Earth did Tracy get her hands on the formula? Ashton shrugs. Eh, he really doesn't know. Later, Dawn's party gets underway. Tracy and Alan quibble constantly. Monica shrugs off Alan's attempts to make amends with her.

In Lucy's office, Alan slobbers all over Lucy and tells her he wants her to move into their new apartment tonight. Amy walks in (seeing them pull away from a kiss) to tell Alan that Olivia is missing. Lucy frets about Olivia being on the lamb.

Decker finds Monica at GH to ask her if she might consider buying Ned's share of Wyndamire and giving it to Dawn. That way Dawn would not be so dependant on Ned. Monica tells Decker she'll think about it, but later admits to Ned that there's just something off about that boy. Later, Dawn is grumpy because she's upset about having another argument with Ned. Monica points out that Ned has a right to be upset. Dawn looks at her mother. So she and Ned have discussed this?

Alan orders champagne to be sent to his love nest with Lucy, but pretends he's on the phone with the hospital when Monica walks in. They argue about the same old thing: Monica is appalled at his behavior and intends to prove that she didn't steal the formula. After he leaves, Monica confronts Tracy. She knows what Tracy and Ashton did in St. Louis, and she is determined to prove that Tracy stole the formula. Tracy plays dumb, but Monica warns to watch out. When Ashton returns home, Tracy lets him have it. He squealed on her to Monica! He's dead meat!

Monica goes to see Sean regarding Tracy. She needs his help to put the final nail in Tracy's coffin. She needs him to find Walt Benson. Once she can prove that Walt was working for Tracy, then she will teach Alan a thing or two about integrity in a marriage! Then we see Alan waiting for Lucy at their love nest. Where is Lucy? Alan calls the apartment. Scott answers the phone (in bed with Lucy). Sorry, Lucy's not here . . .

At GH, Alan finds out from his stockbroker that ELQ stock is plummeting. The investors are losing confidence in light of Tracy's suspicion of murder. He wants to organize a cocktail party to reassure the investors that ELQ is on solid ground. He stresses that Monica must be there, and Tracy. They must show a united front if they are going to weather this storm. Alan gulps. Later, Alan finds Monica and attempts to smooth her over with a diamond studded gold watch. Monica throws it back in his face, calling it a bribe. Who does he think she is? Alan tells her the watch is merely a peace offering, but Monica can sense that he wants something. She can't wait to see the look on his face when she gets the proof that Tracy was behind the sabotage! Dejected, Alan later finds Lucy and pulls her aside and asks her why she blew him off the other night. Lucy's mad at him for never taking her out in public. Alan asks to meet her at the apartment so that they can discuss it. Once there, she presses him to divorce Monica but Alan says he can't right now -- not with ELQ in turmoil. Lucy fumes, but all is forgotten when Alan gives her Monica's rejected diamond studded gold watch.

Lucy is parading around Scott's apartment drooling over her new watch when Alan shows up. He is there to see Scott regarding the industrial espionage issue. They start fooling around, but Alan warns her that Scott could come home any minute. Alan asks her why she's still living with Scott. Why doesn't she move into their new apartment? Lucy seems more interested in talking about the espionage investigation.

In the meantime, we see Tracy slinking around the hospital, trying to hide/not hide a black eye. She talks to Harrison, claiming that she had a little household accident, but heavily implies that she's hiding something. What is Tracy up to? We see her hide and overhear Harrison telling Monica about it. Harrison is genuinely concerned, but Monica dismisses it, not having time to deal with Tracy's machinations. Tracy smiles. At least she has fooled Harrison . . . Later, Scott arrives at GH to see Tracy, who is still sticking to her story -- it was just an accident. She doesn't want to talk about it! Scott insists they have a case for physical abuse if she will just admit who hit her. Tracy swallows and claims it was Ashton. They had a fight about David and he hit her. He was jealous of David -- and he was the one who shot him! Monica laughs herself silly when she hears this. Ashton, a jealous killer? Tracy sticks to her guns. Monica then gets a call from Robert, who tells her that Jimmy is in custody. Will she please tell Tracy that she's off the hook for murder? Monica shrugs. She hasn't seen Tracy all day . . . Monica decides to have fun with Tracy and let her twist in the wind a little longer -- even as the cops show up to haul her down to PC headquarters. Monica just stands back and giggles.

Sean comes to see Monica at GH. He has located Walt. He's working at a hospital in Pittsburg. Monica thanks him. Now she will be able to prove Tracy's guilt! Tracy arrives as Sean moves off, hell bent for leather. She knows that Monica was in on the scheme with Robert. How dare she let her suffer the humiliation of being accused of murder! Monica sincerely apologizes, which gets Tracy suspicious. Why is she suddenly being so nice?

At the mansion, Tracy is still angry about what Robert put her through, using her as a scapegoat to nail Jimmy. Alan opens an envelope addressed to the entire family. It's an invitation to Robert and Katherine's engagement party. Tracy scoffs. That party should be in her honor after what Robert put her through! Alan wonders where Monica is, and Dawn jumps up to announce that Monica has gone off on a convention. Tracy can smell a rat and suspects Dawn is covering for her mother. So where is Monica? Meanwhile, we see that Monica is in Pittsburg looking for Walt. She sets him up and tape records his confession (to whom he believes is a federal prosecutor) regarding his deal with Tracy to steal the Dermistatin formula. When Monica returns home, she presents her evidence to Alan, who is shocked to find out it was Walt. He tries to apologize to Monica for accusing her of betraying him, but she has had enough of him!

Alan sits Dawn down and sincerely apologizes to her for accusing her of betraying him along with Monica and Ned. He even goes as far as to invite her to move into the mansion. Scott arrives. Alan tells him that he wont be needing his services now that he is abandoning the charges against Monica. Meanwhile, Dawn goes to Monica to tell her that Alan apologized, and pushes Monica to forgive and forget. Monica can't get over what Alan did on Thanksgiving, but does agree to go to Robert and Katherine's party, which makes Dawn happy. On the way out the door, Monica tells Alan that she's making an effort for Dawn's sake, not his. At Duke's, Alan steals a moment with Lucy, who is showing off her new watch. He tells her she shouldn't have worn it, she might attract muggers (and Monica may remember it!). Later, that's exactly what happens. Monica sees the watch and storms out.

At GH, Monica tells Dawn and Ned that Tracy is guilty and she has the proof. Ned fumes. What kind of mother would let her son fry for something she did? Monica assures Ned that Alan has a plan for Tracy and tells him to come to the cocktail party tonight. Meanwhile, Tracy returns home with tons of shopping bags. Alan helps her with them, just as pleasant as can be. He tells her that he has moved the location for the ELQ stockholder cocktail party to the mansion and encourages her to be there. After all, they are running the company together. He promises that it will be an evening to remember . . .

Tracy is on top of the world as the family starts to gather for the party. Monica can hardly hide her wrath. Alan privately tells her to be nice to Tracy. He's trying to throw her off. Monica smirks. She'd like to throw Tracy off a cliff! Later, Tracy is in her room getting ready for the party. She unzips her dress only to find out that it's not her dress -- it's a nun's habit! Then Alan walks out, playing the tape of Walt's confession. Why doesn't she wear something in prison blue? It will be just right where she's going!

Tracy scrambles to talk her way out of it. She claims Monica and Walt are the ones in cahoots and they are setting her up! Alan tells her to save it. He gives her a choice -- either she resigns as ELQ co-chair and the board of directors or she's going to prison for industrial espionage! Alan returns to the party, which is in full swing downstairs. Monica pulls him aside to ask him how it went with Tracy. Alan assures her that Tracy is about to make a major decision in her life. Tracy comes down to the party and makes an announcement to everyone -- she has no choice but to step down from her position at ELQ. Everyone murmurs in shock. Tracy looks like she wants to spit at Alan, and grits her teeth as she congratulates him and raises her glass. Alan makes an announcement of his own -- he hires a chief counsel for ELQ and it's not Scott. Scott is furious. He storms out. Monica ups to Tracy makes sure Tracy knows it was her who found the proof that she stole the formula. After the party ends, Tracy turns to Ned for comfort, but he is disgusted with her. His own mother sat by an let him fry for something she did! Later, Monica comes downstairs to see Alan and finds him gazing at Edward's portrait, telling his father that he will run the company exactly as Edward did, with only one difference: he will tell his sons often how much he loves them. Hearing this, Monica bites her lip and goes back upstairs.

Alan and Monica share a late lunch at the mansion. Alan is still trying to make peace with her. Monica thinks of a way he can help: she wants him to help her convince Dawn that she hasn't wrecked their marriage. Alan promises to do so, but then quickly scurries off when Lucy calls him. Alan meets Lucy at the apartment, where they love up to each other, but unfortunately Alan doesn't have time to stay. To placate Lucy he tells her to hire a decorator and furnish the apartment on his dime. Then he takes back the watch he gave her -- and gives her an even better one. Lucy drools over it, but of course we know that he just doesn't want Monica to see her wearing it. Later, Alan joins the rest of the family (minus Tracy) for dinner to welcome Dawn to the house. She has decided to move in. For once, everyone gets along without fighting. As soon as he gets a chance, he sneaks to the phone to call Lucy and tell her he can't make it over to the apartment tonight. Lucy fumes.

At GH, Tiffany ups to Alan and Monica with an idea to do a segment of her TV show on the Quartermaine family, and film them at home. Alan is all for it, but Monica has reservations. At home, they tell the rest of the family about it. Alan and Ned want to use the opportunity to get some good publicity. Monica tells Dawn that she wants to publicly declare her as part of the family. They all agree to go through with it. They believe it will be a taped show, but we see Tiffany talking to her people at the station. She is planning to do it live. This can't be good.

Alan & Monica #7    February 2 - March 23, 1990    4 hours

Back to Top

Tiffany's TV show disaster, Lucy hires a PI to take pictures of her and Alan, Scandal hits the news stands, Monica's through with Alan, Lucy schemes to get Alan to propose.

Alan comes to see Lucy at her new apartment (which is now furnished). Lucy is painting her toenails, but quickly jumps up to dress in a sexy outfit. Alan is wowed when she comes out. They smooch, and Alan lies about having a business meeting that he must go to, when in fact it is Tiffany's TV show.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Tiffany preps for her show, "At Home With The Quartermaines". The Q's are upset when they learn that this will be a live show. Things go from bad to worse when Tracy makes some nasty remarks about Dawn, causing her to flee. As the cameras begin to roll, Monica learns that Dawn is missing and starts arguing with Alan. They both plaster smiles on their faces as Tiffany introduces them, but very soon, Monica and Tracy start going at it during the commercial break. Monica attacks Tracy, and Tracy slaps Ned. Tiffany is forced to go back on the air in the middle of a full fledged family brawl. Clearly she has lost control! Meanwhile, Lucy seethes when she watches the TV show at Charlene's house. Alan lied to her! He said he had a business meeting! She gets really mad when Alan drapes his arm around Monica and declares that his family is the most important thing in his life.

Monica is worried sick about Dawn, who is still missing after having fled the house. Alan tries to calm her down. Lucy calls as "Rhonda,"asking for Alan. He dodges her call, which gets her fuming mad. Later, Ned returns with Dawn. Monica apologizes for what Tracy said to her. Dawn is sorry that she worried everyone. Monica hugs Ned to thank him for brining Dawn home. Dawn casts them a long sideways glance. Later, Alan sneaks downstairs to call Lucy. He leaves a message on her machine but she doesn't pick up, still angry with him. Tracy returns home, she can't help but mention to Alan that she saw Lucy going into Scott's apartment building. Isn't it nice to know that everyone is tucked safe and warm in their beds?

Monica and Tracy face off at the mansion. Monica warns Tracy that she'd better stop making Dawn's life miserable, and makes it clear to Tracy she is staying behind in the west wing when the rest of the family moves to the east wing. That gets Tracy attention. Miffed, she goes to see Scott. How is he going to help her get her reptilian brother out of ELQ?

Alan is waiting for Lucy in her office when she arrives. What was she doing in Scott Baldwin's apartment last night? Before Lucy can start spinning a tale, Decker arrives, so Alan leaves, but returns later. So how about it? Lucy has an answer for him: she followed Tracy there! She suspected that Tracy is plotting with Scott against him, so she went there to check it out. Like a fool, Alan buys it.

Back at Scott's apartment, Scott suggests Tracy try to mend fences with Ned -- and by extension, Dawn -- if they are going to get anywhere. Alan shows up, so Tracy must hide in the bedroom. Alan doesn't beat around the bush. He wants to know what Scott is up to with Tracy! He reveals that Lucy claimed to have followed Tracy to Scott's apartment the other day. Scott claims that Lucy came to see him, but that part about Tracy being there was a lie. After Alan leaves, Scott tells Tracy she'd better learn how to eat crow. She must be nice to Dawn and repair her relationship with Ned.

Later, Lucy returns to her office and finds Alan there. It seems there is a discrepancy in their stories. Baldwin told him that Tracy was never at his apartment! Lucy claims Scott is lying to cover his tracks. Alan buys it again and makes up with her. They hug, and Monica walks in on the tail end of it. She's not at all surprised to find Alan there and storms out. Lucy gets upset and tosses Alan out of her office.

Alan comes to see Lucy at her office. She's still mad about Monica's intrusion the other day. She demands that Alan get a divorce now! Alan claims he can't. It's Valentines day. How can he dump Monica on Valentine's day? Lucy thinks it's just another excuse, but Alan smoothes things over and they make plans to meet later at the apartment. When Alan returns home, however, he finds that Monica has set up a romantic dinner for them. He can't think of any way out of it and calls Lucy, leaving a message on her machine. He has a meeting he can't get out of . . . Lucy turns red. Meanwhile, Alan and Monica have an amicable dinner. Monica tells Alan she feels sorry for Lucy, because she'll never be truly happy.

Monica greets Dawn upon her return home from Palm Beach (Dawn is recast). They catch up a bit, then join Lila in the den. Lila is chatting with Decker and tells them that she's hiring Decker to fix Edward's old Ferrari that she wants to give to Ned.

Lucy decides to take the bull by the horn. She goes to a PI office pretending to be Monica (she's wearing a wig and veil over her face). She hires a PI to take photos of her philandering husband with his mistress. The man wants to be paid upfront, so Lucy gives him a diamond bracelet.

Lila is brought to GH after taking a fall at the mansion. Tracy gets in Monica's face and blames her. It's all her fault because of the renovations! Ashton has to keep them from going at each other. Later, the family gathers in Lila's room (including Edward's ghost). Steve comes in to have a talk with Lila. He levels with her about her condition. She has to decide on life-risking surgery or be in a wheelchair.

Lucy calls the PI and sets it up so that he will take pictures tonight, when Alan comes over. Then she gets upset when she is served to testify in the Olivia Jerome trial. She calls Alan and uses every trick in the book to lure him over. She needs to see him tonight!! When Alan arrives, Lucy smothers him with kisses, suddenly not worried so much about that silly subpoena. She seduces him and her plan works. A photographer gets pictures of them from the balcony. As soon as he leaves, Lucy pushes Alan out of her bed. He'd better get dressed and get back to his mother. She's so worried about poor Lila . . .

At GH, Monica tears into Harrison for scheduling Lila for surgery even though she has not made up her mind yet. Harrison explains to Alan and Monica about Lila and the surgery list. He only put her on the list to get a spot in the ER in case she decides. Monica apologizes. Later, Alan tells Monica how much he appreciates the care and concern she has shown to his mother. He thanks her for it.

At GH, Lucy calls the PI and demands her pictures. He was supposed to get them to her right away! He wants $500 to rush them out. Angry, Lucy promises to get him the money. Meanwhile, Alan, Monica and Tracy walk past the nurses station with Lila, who is in a wheelchair and having the time of her life (honking a little horn). When Alan walks by Lucy, she pulls him into a supply closet and asks for money to go shopping (the woman is certifiable!). Ever the stooge, Alan runs off to get it for her. When he leaves, Scott walks in and threatens to turn Lucy in for hiding Victor's body. He has also been subpoenaed in Olivia's trial, and he doesn't like it one bit. He reminds her still has the pendant and storms out.

Alan returns the supply closet where Lucy is waiting for him. He gives her the money she asked for. She barely waits until he's left to start counting it. Afterwards, she calls the sleazy PI and arranges to drop the money at his office. She wants to pictures delivered to her (Monica) right away! The only problem is, Tracy sees Lucy on the phone and suspects she's up to something. She waits for Lucy to leave and follows her, dragging Ashton with her. They watch Lucy drop the money in the slot at the PI's office door. Tracy wonders why Lucy is paying a PI. What's she up to now?

At GH, Lucy nervously tells Alan that she just doesn't know what she might say if she gets called the stand. She just might tell the court everything about them, and that Alan helped her hide Victor's body! She has an idea though -- If Alan marries her, she can't be forced to testify against him . . . Alan literally runs to the elevator.

Meanwhile, Tracy and Ashton return to the PI office in disguise. They pretend to be with Scotland Yard, and ask about Lucy Coe Jones. Of course, the PI doesn't know any Lucy Coe Jones (because she came to him as Monica Quartermaine), but he's certainly eager to help them -- for a substantial fee. Just then, Lucy calls him (as Monica) to ask about the photos. He refers to her as "Doctor,"which gives Tracy the clue she's looking for. She tells Ashton to go to GH and find out which doctor hired the PI.

At GH, Ashton speaks to Alan and fishes for information about the PI, but Alan is not the one who hired him (we know that, of course).

Meanwhile at the mansion, Tracy finds an envelope from the PI office addressed to Monica. She opens it and finds the pictures of Alan and Lucy. Later, Lucy arrives at the mansion and starts snooping to find the pictures. Tracy walks out holding the envelope. Looking for these? Tracy tells her she's very photogenic . . . And athletic.

Tracy enjoys watching Lucy squirm as she dangles the pictures in her face. She blackmails Lucy -- get company secrets about ELQ from Alan, or else the pictures will find their way into the wrong hands. Not having a choice, Lucy agrees, but it seems like she has plan to get out the pickle she's in.

Alan arrives at ELQ to find Tracy in his office -- in his chair. He tells her to get out. She razzes him about his business "affairs", then leaves. Later, Lucy snuggles up to Alan at GH and they make plans to meet later at the apartment. Curry, the PI is hanging around the hospital and overhears Lucy telling Meg (who is new) how to address her. He realizes she is the Lucy Coe that the Scotland Yard is after! Later, Curry sells the photos of Alan and Lucy to the newspaper.

At the mansion (which is newly renovated), Alan slides down the banister. Everyone is getting ready for the ELQ cocktail party. As the party begins, Lucy arrives, much to Alan's dismay. What is she doing there? Monica is due home any minute! Lucy claims she was invited by one of the stockholders (if she was, it was her doing anyway). Alan warns her not to walk in with him or speak to him the entire evening.

Meanwhile, Decker and Monica are catching a ride on a Port Charles Gazette newspaper truck. Decker's car has broken down, and Monica is having transportation problems coming home from her medical conference. They don't realize that the truck is loaded with newspapers featuring Alan and Lucy on the front page! Eventually, Monica sees the headlines and her eyes bug out. She can't wait to get home!

Back at the mansion, the party is in full swing. Monica arrives and throws a tray of food at Alan. Then she pulls out the newspaper. Read all about it! She doesn't even take the time to tell him off -- she storms out, stopping only to apologize to Dawn for ruining her party. With all the guests stunned, Lucy takes it upon herself to announce to the ELQ stockholders that she's sorry this happened, but that the newspaper story is absolutely true. She and Alan are very much in love! Alan elbows her and tells her to shut-up, then he does damage control. The party is pretty much ruined. Scott tells Lucy that he came over to try to stop this from happening. After he leaves, Tracy threatens Lucy. Alan will toss her out like the trash she is if he finds out that she had those pictures taken!

Meanwhile, Monica goes down to the gatehouse to be comforted by Ned. Dawn sees them hugging through the window.

At the mansion, Monica is hold up in her room. Alan knocks at the door but she wont let him in. He leaves, and Dawn tells her mother she is engaged to Ned. Monica is thrilled, but tells Dawn that she plans to divorce Alan right away. Later, Alan forces his way in. He tries to talk Monica out of divorcing him, but she's disgusted with him and wont listen.

A reporter comes to Q mansion for Monica's side of the Lucy/Alan scandal. She does let it slip, however, that Monica has been accused of being a mentally unstable, clingy wife that Alan only stays with because he pities. Monica refuses to give her a statement. After she leaves, Dawn pegs it. Lucy did this! Monica realizes it's time for a chat with Lucy, but where is the gutter skag? Dawn offers to call around town pretending to be a reporter so that she find Lucy. Later, Monica shows up at Charlene's house to see Lucy. It's time they had a chat. She knows about the article Lucy is having printed. Mentally unstable? Hardly. In fact, she's never felt more sane in her life. She tells Lucy that she and Alan deserve each other, so she can have him.

Monica goes to Scott and asks him for legal advise. What's the quickest way to get a divorce? He tries to talk her out of it (obviously he doesn't want Alan available for Lucy). He tells her to go to Mexico. Monica plans to leave right away, much to Scott's dismay. Monica returns to the mansion and tells Ned and Dawn of her plans. Dawn still thinks that Alan & Monica's marriage is worth saving. After Monica leaves, she runs to the phone and calls the hospital to leave an urgent message for Alan, telling him that Monica is leaving for Mexico, and there is still time to stop her. The problem is, Lucy is at the desk when the message comes in and overhears. Certifiable, she goes to Alan's office to grab the message so that he doesn't get it.

Meanwhile, Dawn paces at the mansion as Monica is getting ready to leave. Where is Alan? She calls Meg, who assures her she put the message on Alan's desk. She's sure Alan will be there any minute. In the meantime, Alan meets Lucy for lunch. She turns on the tears and tells him she can't stand what this scandal is doing to his career and his family. He must go to Monica now! Then she holds his hand and tells him he will always be the love of her life (gag). Alan runs out as Lucy checks her watch and smiles. He'll be too late . . . Back at the mansion, Monica is just walking out the door when she finds out that her flight is delayed one hour. She's annoyed, but Dawn is happy to hear this.

Dawn rushes to GH to warn Alan that Monica leaving for a quickie divorce. Alan runs out to stop her. On the plane, Monica remembers the romantic dinner they shared on Valentine's day. It seems she is getting ready to change her mind, but then she gets mad all over again when she sees another damaging newspaper headline painting her as the "nutty"wife. Alan arrives and tries to stop her from leaving, but she tells him to get away from her or she'll murder him! Then she has him thrown off the plane.

Dejected, Alan returns to Lucy, who pouts and strokes him. Poor baby . . . Alan then gets upset when he sees the newest newspaper article. How did the press get such intimate details about them? He accuses Lucy of having leaked these articles, but Lucy comes up with the perfect cover story: she plants the idea that it was Tracy who hired the PI and sold the pictures of them.

At her apartment, Lucy composes some telegrams using the names of all the ELQ stockholders in order to repair Alan's image.

Meanwhile, Alan confronts Tracy at ELQ, but is dismayed to learn that Ned has called an emergency board meeting to call him out and have ousted, per the bylaws of the company. Worried, Alan goes to see Lucy, moaning about his plight at ELQ. Lucy isn't worried. She's certain things will go his way . . .

Alan is worried about the board meeting. Lucy rubs his shoulders and builds up his courage to face the vultures. Alan regrets that he'll have to tell the board he's ending the affair. Lucy sniffles and tells him he must do what he feels is best . . . After Alan leaves, she gets back to composing her forged telegrams.

Alan & Monica #8    March 23 - May 22, 1990    4 hours

Back to Top

Lucy gets her way, Alan proposes, Monica gets a quickie divorce, Wendy arrives, Monica gives up the mansion, Red dress/giant hat wedding, Scott blackmails Alan.

At the board meeting, Alan's head is on the chopping block. He is just about to be ousted as CEO, but then some of the telegrams (supposedly from stockholders) are read aloud. Let true love triumph! Love conquers all! Everyone is astounded that the stockholders seem to be in Alan's corner. Fueled by approval, Alan announces that he loves Lucy and intends to marry her! Tracy's jaw hit's the floor. Lucy listens from outside the room and smiles. It went exactly as she planned!

Alan shows up at Charlene's house to see Lucy and asks her to marry him. Lucy's eyes bulge. She smothers him with kisses. Yes, of course! (Of course!) She insists on going with him to the mansion to tell the family. No one is exactly thrilled, not even Lila, who shakes her head. Heaven help us . . . Later, Alan stares at Edward's portrait and has heart to heart with Lila. She tells him that his father always put the company first. Alan assures her that's what he's doing.

At GH, Lucy shows off her diamond engagement ring to Bobbie, who thinks Alan is out of his mind! Alan suffers a scolding from Steven about the damage he's done to the hospital with all of this bad press, but Amanda Barrington tells him just the opposite. By marrying Lucy, he has averted what could have otherwise been a stock market disaster. Meanwhile, Ned and Dawn arrive in Mexico to tell Monica that Alan has asked Lucy to marry him. Monica is stunned. Couldn't he even wait for the ink to dry on the divorce papers? Later, Dawn sees another tender moment between Ned and Monica.

At the mansion, Lucy asks Alan if they could throw a ball. Sort of like her coming out party. Tracy is happy to inform her that Monica owns the house. Lucy claims she doesn't care as long as she has Alan. When Alan walks out, Tracy tells Lucy she better bring her the goods on Alan or else she will tell him the truth about those photos.

Lucy and Alan go out for lunch and run into Decker with Wendy (Decker is filling her head with lies, pretending to be Ned). Lucy thinks Wendy looks familiar (she comes from the Green Meadow Spa). When they return to Charlene's house, Lucy starts working Alan to get the mansion from Monica in the divorce settlement. Apparently Alan isn't enough for her after all. Alan doesn't think he'll be able to do that -- besides, Monica has been so congenial about the divorce. He doesn't want to rock the boat. Lucy reminds him it's a matter of image. How will they throw big parties for the stockholders unless they have that big mansion?

Meanwhile in Mexico, Ned and Monica have a heart-to-heart, and Dawn sees them hug again.

Monica, Dawn and Ned head home on the ELQ jet. After Monica goes off to take a nap, Dawn asks Ned point blank if her ever slept with Monica. Ned doesn't even flinch. No, of course not! When they return to the gatehouse, Ned tells Monica about his conversation with Dawn on the plane. Wendy, who is hiding in the house, hears them.

Alan comes knocking on Monica's door. He tries one more time to get her to reconsider the divorce. He tells her that he loves her and he's sorry. He only proposed to Lucy to keep the stockholders happy. Monica is appalled that all he cares about business. She tells him he's his father's son, after all. She tells him to pack his bags and get out of her life! She slams the door on him, but he hangs around to appeal to her one more time, bringing up the time he first brought her home to meet the family. Monica softens and almost gets caught up in fond memories, but then tells him to leave. She's through! When she goes downstairs, she runs into Lucy in the foyer. Lucy tells Monica that she has the utmost respect for her, blah blah blah. Monica tells her that Alan is only marrying her to protect his posision at ELQ. If their affair hadn't gone public, she would be nothing more than a backstreet whore! And furthermore, Monica would rather burn down her house than have Lucy live in it. So get out!!

Later, Monica meets with Ned at Kelly's where they discuss their concern over Dawn finding out about their past. Ned assures Monica he will never tell her, and no one else knows about it, so they have no worries. Wendy, who is sitting nearby, overhears them again.

At GH, Alan confronts Lucy with the estimate of Lucy's plan for their reception. Scolded, Lucy apologizes, but then gets a better idea. How about they elope? Alan agrees, but only if they go through with the dinner party first. He doesn't want to disappoint his mother. Later, Alan and Lucy join Ashton and Lila at Charlene's house for dinner. Wendy is there as Decker's guest. Lucy still feels that she's seen Wendy somewhere before. Decker pulls her aside and tells her to keep her mouth shut about Wendy. Everyone starts razzing Decker about his past in the carnival. He gets upset and storms out. Lucy then gets upset when Alan is called away to the hospital. She's sick and tired of Alan getting called away every time they have plans!

At GH, Ned overhears Monica confirming an appointment with Wendy and panics. Apparently Wendy wants a physical, but what she really wants is to gather info on Ned and Monica. Later, Monica, none the wiser, tells Ned that Wendy seemed awfully familiar to her, and that Wendy said the same thing. Of course, Ned knows that they probably saw each other at Green Meadows Spa, but says nothing.

Meanwhile, Alan deals with a crisis in the lab and tells Lucy that they will have to postpone their wedding due to no one being able to take vacation time. Lucy is not happy. Later, Alan consults with Monica on the mysterious patient, Casey Rogers, a 30 year old man who seems to be dying of old age. Monica is frankly surprised that Alan called her in on the case. Alan tells her that no matter what is going on in their personal life, he has never doubted her ability as a doctor. Later, Lucy arrives and pushes Alan to assign his patient to another doctor so that they can get married, but Alan declines. His patient must come first! Lucy huffs and storms off, only to be razzed by Amy. Those wedding bells are getting more distant by the moment . . .

At the mansion, Monica has a bonding moment with Lila. She invites Lila to stay on in the house after she throws the rest of the Quatermaines out. Lila accepts and they hug. Tracy walks in and Monica tells her that Lila will be staying on at the house, but she'd be happy to help Tracy pack. Meanwhile, Alan works around the clock to solve the mystery of Casey Rogers. Lucy tries to call him, but Amy hangs up on her. Angry, Lucy bellyaches to her Aunt Charlene, who suggests that she and Alan get married at her house.

Gold-digger Wendy leaves a letter for Monica at GH. Meanwhile, Lucy continues to hound Alan about getting married right away. He continues to blow her off due his patient needing him. Lucy seems oddly congenial and kisses him, telling him it's all right. Alan returns to work and Monica gets in Lucy's face. Why is she playing these silly games? She already has everything she wants. Lucy says not yet, but she will. She moves off, and Dawn asks Monica how she can stand for that!? (Note: Dawn has been recast for the forth time). Later, Ned joins Monica in the cafeteria. She invites him to dinner so that they can work on planning the wedding. Monica returns to work and Amy gives her Wendy's letter. It's a hand-written note: I know about you and Ward . . . Monica gets jumpy and runs off. Later, she books a flight to Vermont, but lies to Dawn and tells her she has a medical conference.

Lucy and Alan meet with a fashion expert to pick out her wedding dress. Alan gets called the hospital for an emergency, which annoys Lucy. Gee Alan, it looks like your patient died. It turns out Casey Rogers has gone missing.

Meanwhile, Monica arrives at Green Meadows Spa to see Gloria. Gloria hides and tells her secretary to tell Monica she's not there. Later, Monica does some snooping and learns Lucy was a recent guest there. Very interesting . . .

Monica returns from Green Meadows, greeted by Dawn, who can sense that something is wrong, but Monica insists everything is okay and encourages her to go out and have a good time with Ned. Meanwhile, Lucy is at Charlene's when Monica calls asking for Lucy. Charlene covers for her, saying that Lucy is not there, but Monica leaves a message: she has figured everything out and wants to speak to Lucy as soon as possible. Apparently, she believes that Lucy is the one blackmailing her, but Lucy doesn't know that. Panicked, Lucy runs straight to Scott and accuses him of having told Monica about the forged telegrams. Scott not only denies it, he claims that Tracy is the only one out to get her. HE is trying to help her. He wants her to get everything she deserves and moves closer to her, coming onto her. Monica walks in on them kissing. Congratulations, she didn't think Lucy would start cheating on Alan until AFTER the wedding! She asks to speak to Lucy alone and tells her she won. If she wants the house, she can have the it. Lucy is stunned, of course, but says nothing. If Monica wants to give her the house, she'll take it! Later, Lucy finds Alan at GH to talk about their wedding, which she wants to move up to tomorrow. Alan can't do it tomorrow. Bobbie's baby is sick and they are all trying to figure out what's wrong. Besides that, Monica wants to have a meeting at the house. Lucy smiles. She's sure it's not bad news . . .

At the mansion, Monica assembles the Q clan and tells them that she is letting them all stay in the house. It's just right for them to stay there with Lila. She will move out. No one can believe that she is giving up like this. Alan pulls her aside and asks her why she's doing it. She has always used this house as weapon, so why give it up now? Monica tells him weapons are for fighting. She has nothing to fight for. Later, Alan finds Lucy at the PC hotel planning their wedding. He tells her they wont be needing a suite at hotel -- Monica is giving them the mansion! Lucy already knows this, of course, but pretends it's news to her. Later, Lucy invites Desiree to her reception, as well as Robert and Katherine.

It's Alan and Lucy's wedding day! Crazy preparations at Charlene's house. Lucy stresses out over every detail. Her dress arrives, but Lucy screams when she opens the box. It's the wrong dress! She has nothing else to wear since all of her clothes have been moved to the mansion. What is she going to do!? Meanwhile, Alan has a heart to heart with Lila. He tells her she doesn't have to come to the wedding. Lila asks him if he must do this. He is determined to go through with it. On his way out, he runs into Monica. She tells him that by the time he comes back, she'll be packed and out of the house. Alan tells her that she doesn't have to do this. Monica begs to differ. Yes she does.

Alan arrives at Charlene's house, but looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Tracy arrives in black with a veil over her face. Lucy comes down the stairs in a skin tight, sizzling red dress with a gigantic hat. Alan rolls his eyes. Giggles from all in attendance. They are pronounced man and wife as reporters snap pictures. Afterwards, Scott asks Alan to meet him upstairs for a private chat. He has something to show him . . . Scott pulls out the pendant. Remember this? He blackmails Alan to get the chief council position at ELQ. Having no choice, Alan cow-tows. Lucy walks in on the tail end of their conversation. Scott kisses the bride and walks out, leaving an angry Alan staring her down. He wants to talk to her right now!

Meanwhile, Monica and Dawn move into the PC hotel as Wendy watches from afar.

Alan and Lucy arrive at the PC hotel for their reception. Alan tries to get Lucy to talk to him, but she's going on and on about the cake and the flowers being wrong. Finally Alan confronts her with Baldwin's contract. Furious, he asks her what she and Baldwin are trying to pull!? Lucy denies knowing anything about it. Alan thinks she blabbed to him about Victor. How did Scott get the pendant? He wants answers! Lucy shushes him as Amanda Barrington walks up. Later, Lucy bawls out Scott for blackmailing Alan, but he's having the time of his life watching them both squirm.

Lucy is livid that Decker has run off when he was supposed to drive them home in the Bently. Alan doesn't care -- they'll just take a cab. Colton offers to drive them. They arrive at the mansion, where Tracy gets one look at Alan and senses trouble in paradise. Upstairs, Alan is no less grumpy as Lucy slips into bed with him. He just wants to sleep. Lucy whispers sweetly in his ear until he boils down and gives in.

Meanwhile, Monica and Dawn get settled into their new hotel suite. Dawn confesses to her mother that Ned seems to have a ruthless side to him that scares her.

Alan and Lucy come downstairs for their first breakfast with the family. Tracy offers arsenic. Lila gets annoyed when Lucy keeps calling her "mother." Tracy catches Lucy in the foyer to remind her of their agreement. She'll be out on her ear unless she gets the ELQ info from Alan pretty soon. Later, Lucy assumes her roll as mistress of the house and has all of the staff gathered for a meeting.

At the mansion, Lucy is anxiously planning her dinner party. She is hoping to persuade Tiffany to do another TV show on the Quartermaines so that she can show off her newfound wealth. Monica calls to speak to Alan but Lucy blows her off. Guests gather for Lucy's party. Monica shows up to speak with Alan about the boys, which gets Lucy flaming mad. How dare Monica crash HER party in HER house!? She gets even more upset when Ned and Dawn walk out. How is that going to look? After talking to Monica, Alan tells Lucy that he must leave right away to speak to A.J. at the boarding school. It seems he is upset over the divorce. Lucy is livid that he is running out on her party. She tries to salvage the evening as best she can and actually gets Tiffany to agree to do another special on the Quartermaines, but when she makes her big toast to the guest of honor, Tiffany is gone, having slipped out.

Monica is having dinner at the PC hotel restaurant when Sean joins her. They reminisce over old times. Later, Dawn joins Monica, then Ned, who runs off quickly, promising to be back later.

There is a black out in Port Charles. Everybody is freaking out, thinking there is an alien invasion. Still at the PC hotel, Monica and Dawn light a candle at their table while Frisco tries to calm everyone down. Dawn is worried about Ned, so they deicde to go to GH in case Ned comes looking for them. At GH, Scott and Lucy get trapped in an elevator together. They start taking their clothes off and end up walking out half dressed in front of Alan and Monica. Monica rolls her eyes. Her kid is suffering because of this?

Lucy wakes Alan up in the morning and greets him with breakfast in bed. Alan is still sore over her elevator scene with Scott.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Quartermaines gather at the gatehouse to rally around Ned. He was attacked by someone wielding a knife down at the docks during the blackout. Ned insists it was no big deal, just a robbery. Wendy calls and asks to meet with him.

Divide and conquer! On that note, he goes to see Scott and tells him he's sending him to Alaska on ELQ business. That'll prevent him from conspiring with Ned! Meanwhile, Lucy has a meeting with Ned and Dawn about the wedding, but what she is really doing is trying to get on Ned's good side.

Unfortunately for Tracy, Lucy spots Curry as he enters and offers to pay him a bundle if he " forgets" who hired him take the pictures. Tracy gathers everyone together and prepares to drop her bomb. She asks Curry who hired him. He hesitates. Does she really want him to say? Tracy insists, so Curry spills it: it was TRACY! Tracy's eyes bug out and she chases him out of the restaurant. How dare he double-cross her! Lucy feigns innocence as she and Alan walk out. A few tables away, Monica laughs. Now that's what she calls entertainment.

She wanted Monica to know that. Afterwards, Monica goes to meet Dawn at Body Heat for a steamy sauna. She notices Frankie is working there. She also sets her eyes on a muscular hunk pumping iron. Dawn gets a strange call from someone who is supposed to be Ned's secretary. Of course Monica knows that it's Wendy. She tells Dawn she has something to take care of and scoots off.

Meanwhile, Alan starts to wonder why Tracy wanted him to meet the PI if she knew all along the guy was going to finger her. Lucy's got that covered: she claims that Tracy was planning to have the PI tell him that she hired him, but that he came to his senses and double-crossed her at the last minute.

Monica meets with Ned about this knifing case. She wants to know if he is up to something, because Carla and Colton seem to think Frankie is innocent. Ned promises her that everything is on the up and up. At Delafield's, Ned takes a phone call from Scott in Alaska and tells him to get back to PC asap for Frankie's hearing.

She doesn't want to bring any more bad press down on the family. Lucy panics a bit. She manages to catch Carla on her way out the door. She convinces her to stay. She needs her!

Afterwards, Lucy chats with Lila about the famous author PK Sinclair who is living at Wyndamire. Lila wants to read some of his books. Lucy marvels that she has had the same thought. She has instructed Carla to go out and get copies of all of his books right away. Obviously they have much in common! Lucy buzzes off happily, and Lila turns to Edwards portrait. Is that true, Edward? He answers: Hell no! Later, Lila asks Alan if he is happy with Lucy. Alan, the fool, thinks he is.

Meanwhile at GH, Monica bumps into Wendy and tells her to get out of there right now. Wendy saunters off to the elevator while Dawn walks up and asks Monica what's wrong. She looks like she wants to kill someone!

Monica looks like she needs a drink. Ned arrives later while the girls are trying on their dresses. Monica ups to Ned privately and asks him how their plan is going. She hates that they have to rely on Decker Moss.

Ned and Dawn show up at Monica's suite. Ned is upset because he saw his mother dancing with Scott Baldwin at Delafield's.

Monica is having a surprise bridal shower for Dawn. Dawn is thrilled and opens her presents in front of all her friends. Monica is horrified when Dawn opens up the negligee Monica gave her and finds a video tape included. Luckily, she doesn't notice that it's marked " Ward/Monica." Dawn thinks it's an x rated movie.

Her delinquent cousin has run off with her son's new wife! Everyone starts shouting. Lila holds her head. Oh dear, oh dear . . .

Ned and Monica head with Anna to the gas station where Decker reportedly attacked the attendant. The attendant remembers seeing Dawn the scruffy guy she was with. Alone, Monica worries to Ned that Decker may turn Dawn against them. Ned promises he wont let that happen. He will get Dawn back no matter what.

Robert arrives at the Q mansion to speak with Monica and Ned. They both dance around questions about Wendy. After Robert leaves, Monica worries about all the things that tie her and Ned to Wendy. Monica goes to GH, where Bobbie mentions that she once saw Wendy talking to that shady lawyer who arranges adoptions. Was Wendy pregnant? Monica doesn't know and slinks away. Later, Ned shows up to see Monica. He wants to go on TV and plead with Dawn to come home. Monica thinks it's a bad idea. That will just push her further away. As a side point, Monica asks him about Wendy. Was Wendy pregnant with his child? Ned doesn't know, but he hopes not.

Meanwhile, Lucy reads a newspaper article about Wendy and figures out that she came from Green Meadows Spa. She calls WLPC to speak with Shep. Later, Lucy meets with Shep and starts rambling tearfully about how poor little her is torn up about her cousin Decker being accused of murder and running off with Ned's new wife. She gradually shifts her rambling to Wendy and lets it slip that Ned and Wendy knew each other at Green Meadows. Soon, Shep has his notepad out and is taking down the whole story.

Ned goes on the news pleading for Dawn's return as he believes Decker kidnapped her. Dawn sees the broadcast.

Monica confronts Lucy about talking to Shep. Lucy claims she was only telling him how distressed they all are about Dawn. Monica knows better. Cut the crap! She knows Lucy went to Green Meadows Spa and found out about her and Ned. That's why she gave Lucy the house -- and she'll take it back in a heartbeat if she wants to! Lucy is unimpressed with her threat and gets the last word before walking out. Later, Ned returns. There is still no word on Dawn. Ned is worried about Gloria, from Green Meadows, being in town. They realize they have to get back Wendy's bank ledger before the police see it and wonder why they were paying her all that money.

Monica comes to see Ned at the gatehouse. Monica is on pins and needles about the ledger. Ned thinks she should try and get it from Charlene's. Meanwhile, Frisco searches Wendy's room and finds a little toy soldier (one of Ned's collection). Ned calls Frisco to come see him about Dawn. He thinks Decker may try to pin this murder on him. While at the Gatehouse, Frisco notices the toy soldiers in Ned's room. Aha! Meanwhile, Monica drops in on Charlene for a friendly visit and bides her time to grab the envelope with the ledger in it, but unfortunately, Colton walks in and blows it for her. She leaves empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Monica and Ned bang their heads against the wall. How are they going to get that ledger? Ned comes up with an idea. They will have Lila invite Charlene and Colton to dinner at so that they can break into Charlene's house and get the ledger. Meanwhile, Frisco and Colton discuss Monica's visit to Charlene's. Frisco wonders what Monica was looking for. Later, Frisco hears from Colton about Lila's invitation. He thinks they can make this work for them. Later, Ned and Monica are caught red-handed at Charlene's house. Frisco reads them the ledger that shows they were both giving Wendy money. He wonders what dirt Wendy could have been blackmailing them both on. It's time to go downtown.

At the police station, Frisco questions Ned and Monica about a ledger that shows they both paid Wendy a lot of money. Ned tries to perpetuate the lies, but Monica decides to come clean with Frisco about her affair and the blackmail. Frisco questions them about where they were the night Wendy was murdered. It turns out neither of them have strong alibis, but he agrees to release them and promises he won't release the details to the press. Back at the house, Monica wants to tell the Q's about her and Ned. Ned says no way. If the press doesn't get the story, it never needs to come out.

Meanwhile, Lucy makes a call to a sleazy reporter from the Gazette to meet her right away. She has information to blow the roof off the Wendy Masters case! She dresses as a nun meets with him in a church confessional, where she spills the beans about Monica and Ned.

The next morning, Monica greets Ned in the den. She tells him she has thought it over and she's going to tell everyone the truth. She wants to clear the air. Ned begs her not to. There's no reason to! Monica is adamant. Meanwhile, Lucy is bugged when there is no article in the paper about Monica and Ned. Monica decides to come clean with the family and calls a meeting. Everyone gathers, wondering what this is about. Lucy and Tracy get into it about Decker again. When Monica arrives, she throws Lucy out. She wasn't invited! Tracy slams the door in her face. Angry, Lucy calls the Gazette and arranges to meet with the reporter again. Meanwhile, Monica comes clean with the family about her affair with Ned two years ago. Alan attacks Ned. Chaotic scene. Afterwards, Ned is furious with Monica for spilling the beans. Why does she hate him so much?!

Gail comforts Monica in her hotel suite. She is upset, thinking she will never get her daughter back. If only she'd had the courage to tell Dawn the truth before! Monica finds a note that Dawn left for her before the wedding and tears up as she reads it.

At the hospital, Alan gives Monica the cold shoulder. Later, she meets Ned at the house. He wants to patch things up between them, but all Monica cares about is making things right with Dawn. She advises Ned to get an alibi for the night Wendy was murdered, because he's a suspect, in case he forgot.

At the mansion, Lila finds Alan hitting the bottle. He's feeling sorry for himself in light of Monica's affair with Ned while they were married. Lila tells him he has no right to judge after everything he pulled with Lucy. Put that bottle down at once!

At the mansion, Ned fills the family in on what went down out at the junkyard. He found the place where Dawn and Decker have been hiding out. He is certain Colton was covering for Decker. And he wants the maid, Carla, fired right away! Lila speaks up. She tells Ned he can't take out his frustration on the help. Lucy whole-heartedly agrees. Anna comes by to see Ned to question him, but he insists that she should be talking to Carla and Colton. Monica catches Anna on the way out. She wants to talk to Carla before the police scare her out of giving away information. She needs to know what's happening with her daughter! Monica goes to see Carla, but Carla can't talk now. Tomorrow, please!

Meanwhile at the mansion, Lucy overhears Ned and Scott discussing Ned's alibi for the night of the murder: a cabbie who gave Ned a lift. When Alan returns home, they head to bed. Lucy drapes herself all over him and whispers in his ear. Does he think there's a chance Ned might go down for Wendy's murder? That would get him out of ELQ, wouldn't it? Alan likes the idea. If they stall the police investigation, it will keep Ned on the suspect list. Alan wonders, can she do it? Lucy tells him she can do anything. She's Mrs. Alan Quartermaine!

Carla is waiting in Monica's office to speak to her, but when she realizes that Monica wants to question her about Dawn, she clams up. She can't talk about this. Monica hates to put her in a spot, but she needs to know what Dawn is thinking about her. Carla tells Monica that Dawn wants to stay with Decker, and that Decker has great respect for her. Monica thinks she may have lost Dawn for good and it's all her fault.

In disguise as a blind lady, Lucy rides in a taxi with the cabbie Ned needs to cooberate his story. When he steps away for a moment, she pounds a nail in the tire to create a slow leak. Then she gives him a made up address to send them out into the middle of nowhere. They get a flat tire. While he is busy changing the tire, she tears a page out of his log book -- the one that shows he picked Ned up the night of Wendy's murder.

Meanwhile, Scott and Ned wait for the cabbie at the mansion. Ned starts to panic when he doesn't show. Later, Lucy arrives, claiming she was out shopping. Tracy notices her " blind" glasses and asks about them. Was she out selling pencils on the street?

ELQ board meeting begins. Tracy and Lucy are asked to step outside because they are not shareholders. Amanda tells the board all about Ned's affair with Wendy and demands Ned's resignation. Alan is barred from voting because of bias. He demands that Monica be barred from voting as well. They step outside. Tracy listens front outside the door and seethes when she hears Ned get voted out. She vows to get Lucy back if it is the last thing she does! Lucy smiles secretly as the media vultures descend on Ned.

Lucy arrives at the Brownstone to see Alan, who is helping Bobbie do a good deed for a woman who needs to arrange an adoption. Lucy gets snoodie with Bobbie and reminds Alan that she will be waiting for him at Kelly's. When he arrives, she lays him out for helping Bobbie. Alan gets annoyed with her. Sometimes she really embarrasses him!

Alan and Lucy have dinner at Delafield's. Monica is there with Ned to discuss Dawn. When Lucy steps away for a moment, Monica joins Alan at his table to talk about the good deed he is helping Bobbie with but they end up arguing. By the time Lucy returns, they have made up. Monica leaves civilly, and Lucy actually looks worried.

Scott approaches Alan and offers his services to regarding his adoption project with Bobbie. Bobbie is reluctant to accept his help at first, but Scott assures her he is strictly on the up and up. Well, okay then.

Upset that Alan is out of town, Lucy goes over to see Charlene. She wants to talk about families and children. Does Charlene think a baby would cement her relationship with Alan. Charlene, flips out, thinking Lucy is pregnant. She's not! But she wants to be. She wants to fulfill her role as a woman (bologna!).

At Charlene's again, Lucy is spitting bullets. Bobbie is taking advantage of Alan! She calls Alan, who is visiting AJ at school. She wants to come up and see him there. After all, a boy needs his mommy too! Alan tells her to stay where she is and hangs up on her. With nosy Charlene listening in, Lucy keeps talking to Alan, pretending he didn't hang up on her.

Alan and Monica meet at a hotel room out of town to deal with AJ's failing grades. It seems he is getting kicked out of school. They are trying to get him reinstated. Alan tells Monica that he's so sorry about everything she is going through with Dawn. He really means it. Later, they return from having seen Alan Jr. Monica is worried about telling AJ about this whole affair thing with Ned. Is she going to lose him the way she's lost Dawn? While they're talking, Lucy shows up at Alan's hotel room and is horrified to find Monica there. So that's why he didn't want her to come! Monica isn't about to even waste her breath explaining. She leaves to go see AJ. Lucy puts on her crocodile tears and bawls Alan out. He doesn't even dignify her accusations. Lucy screams that she will not be there when he gets home. She is going to Aunt Charlene's! Alan doesn't care where she goes. He walks out on her.

Frisco tells Ned and Monica that they know who killed Wendy. It was Drago. That means Decker is off the hook and he and Dawn can come home. Later, Monica returns home, where Lucy blocks her way and gets in her face. Monica issues her a threat as she pushes through to the living room, where the rest of the family is gathered. Monica is frantic because she has just learned that Dawn and Decker are trapped in some warehouse in Midvail with the man who killed Wendy. Tracy freaks out because Ned is there too. She wants to go there right away, but Monica tells her they can't. They have to sit and wait for the phone to ring. Lucy waits with them while Lila tries to calm everyone's nerves. Monica and Tracy talk about how much they love their kids. Lucy tells them both that their kids treat them like dirt, in case they missed it. Lila tells Lucy to shut-up! She will not be able to understand what Monica and Tracy are going through until she has children of her own. Lucy then drops a bombshell on them: she's pregnant with Alan's child!

All jaws drop when Lucy tells them she's pregnant with Alan's child (a lie, of course). The room soon clears except for Monica. Lucy smugly tells her not to worry -- Alan would never love her child more than his children with Monica. Monica stops her right there. Don't dare talk about her children! Lucy slinks off and Alan returns home from his trip. He is concerned when he sees Monica there. She tells him she's waiting for word on Dawn. Alan can't imagine what she's going through. Monica smirks. He wont have to if it's a girl. She walks away, leaving Alan baffled. Later, Larry and Tracy come down for a night cap. Larry raises a glass to Alan. Cheers old boy! He didn't know he had it in him. Tracy starts in on him about how all Q heirs have an equal share. Is that what his sudden trip out of town was about? To secure a position for his latest contribution to the family tree? Alan has no idea what she's talking about. Tracy looks at him. Lucy is pregnant! Alan's jaw hits the floor. Larry and Tracy burst out in laughter. He didn't even know!! Alan excuses himself to go see Lucy. Tracy yells out to him as he's walking away. He'd better re-read Rosemary's Baby!

Alan finds Lucy in their room. What's this about being pregnant? Did she see her doctor? Lucy says no, not quite, but she's three weeks late. Alan doesn't think that's good enough. Lucy quiets him. A woman knows these things! She pulls him into her arms to seal the deal, but then Alan gets called away to tend to the Dawn situation. Downstairs, everyone gets word that the kids are all right. Tracy and Monica actually hug! After Monica leaves, Tracy tells Alan about Lucy and the ELQ petty cash fund. Furthermore, Ned has signed over all his stock to her. No one is going to cheat her out of ELQ! Alan returns to Lucy, who tries again to get him into bed, but they are interrupted by a phone call from Bobbie. He has to prepare for a television interview in the morning. He rushes off to write up his notes. Lucy ought to understand, now that they are having a child of their own. After he leaves, Lucy pouts. Not like this, they aren't.

Dawn shows up at Monica's hotel room. They have a lot to work through. Dawn tells her that the only reason she came back was for Decker. She loves Decker. She packs some of her things. She's going to live at Kelly's. Monica is so sorry for lying to her. She just didn't want to lose her.

Lucy comes downstairs to find Alan, Bobbie and Scott with their heads together. Lucy can't wait to tell their guests the news. They are expecting. Scott frowns. What? A pizza delivery? Lucy is delighted to set him straight. Scott is lost for words. He pulls her off to the side. It's funny -- she doesn't look like she has a bun in the oven. He wonders how she's going to look in spandex. Lucy is smug, but Scott can tell she's up to something. Lucy agrees -- being a mother! She storms off and sees Dr. Morgan at GH. She admits to him that she already told Alan she was pregnant. She just wanted Alan to be able to relax so that it takes the stress out of their relationship. She wants to get pregnant before he finds out the truth. He advises her not to do that. Tell Alan the truth!

Lucy gets annoyed when Alan ignores her as she's trying to talk about their child. He wants to call Bobbie instead and work on their adoption project. Lucy wants him to leave GH and go full time at ELQ. Scott arrives and trades barbs with Lucy as she walks out. Scott warns Alan that Ned is handing his stock over to Tracy. Alan nods. He knows. At the board meeting, Alan stuns everyone by resigning! He returns home and tells Lucy. She is distressed to learn that Tracy and Ned will be in charge -- and that Alan gave away all of his voting shares. After having a tantrum, she gets an idea. Why don't they go upstairs and celebrate! She tries to seduce him, but Alan has to go to the hospital. He walks on her. Frustrated, she strangles a throw pillow.

Alan returns from the hospital just as Lucy is waking up. She smothers him with kisses and tries again to get him into bed, but he falls asleep on her. Later, Charlene drops by and implies she's faking her pregnancy. She distinctly remembers Lucy saying she wished she had a baby to trap Alan with just a couple of weeks ago. Lucy acts appalled at her suggestion and storms out. Lucy goes to Body Heat and finds Tony in the steam room. She cozies up to him and tries to turn him on, but Tony walks out with her towel, leaving her stranded naked.

At GH, Monica diagnoses Charlene with an angina attack and shares the results with Colton and Decker. Dawn volunteers to suit up and help Monica treat Charlene. Later, Monica thanks her, but she says she did it for Decker. She also tells Monica she's getting an annulment. Monica thinks she should wait before she does anything rash. Dawn is adamant. She's making her own decisions now.

At GH, Monica chats with Frisco about his impending fatherhood.

Lucy finds Alan at GH. She tries to get him to come home with her, but Alan can't. He has to cover for Monica, and goes on about how he promised her and can't let her down. Lucy begs pathetically. She wants his body now! She suggests that they find an empty room at the hospital! Alan brushes her off and walks away. Lucy is frustrated, but then raises an eyebrow. Oh no---she has an idea! She tears a page out of the phone book and slips onto an elevator. Scott taps on her shoulder. Fancy meeting her here! He wonders what she's up to and chats with her about her pregnancy. She and proud papa must be doing cartwheels! The elevator gets stuck for a moment, and Lucy yells for help. Scott has fun with her while she panics. The doors open and Lucy storms off. She goes to a sperm bank, but quickly runs out when the doctor tells her that her husband must sign all the paperwork (I can't believe devious Lucy cant think of a way around that!). Upset, she goes to a restaurant, and runs into Scott, who is having drinks with a friend of Larry's. His name is Gunther. He's tall, dark and strapping, and he's leaving for Kenya as soon as his visit to PC is over. Lucy raises an eyebrow.

Lucy calls Alan at GH and begs him to come -- can't he come even for a half hour? Alan can't tear himself away. Lucy gets that devious little glow about her and tells Alan to be sure and call if he will be home early. Then she calls the PC hotel and asks for Gunther. She invites him to the Q mansion and butters him with compliments, learning that his wife died, and he has four children. Lucy perks up. Four, really? Lucy gets all flirty, and pretty soon has Gunther right where she wants him. They make plans to meet later at his hotel room.

At, Monica is in Charlene's room talking to her about her engina attack. Alan joins them, and they step outside, where they have a tender moment. Meanwhile, Commargo has a seizure. Tony has Monica step in for Harrison in treating him. They determine he needs surgery right away. Stark makes trouble for them. Alone with Commargo, he tries unsuccessfully to get a Swiss bank account number from him. As Commargo is wheeled into surgery, Stark seems even more unglued. Downstairs, Colton tries to find Robert and Anna as Rico runs around in the hospital with a gun. As the alarm sounds, Rico corners Colton and pulls a gun on him as Anna arrives to intervene.

Lucy calls Gunther to arrange her tryst with him at his hotel room. He is wrapped in a towel, fluffing the pillows in anticipation of her arrival. When Lucy arrives later, the lights are all turned low and he has left a rose on the pillow for her. She slips into bed. He comes out from the other room and wordlessly gets into bed with her. They make love. Afterwards, Lucy checks her watch and tells him she has to get going. She steps into the bathroom to get dressed. When she returns, the lights are on. It's not Gunther in bed -- it's Scott! Was it as good for her as it was for him? Lucy screams.

At GH, Rico holds a gun on Colton and demands Anna give up her weapon. Carla tries to jump Rico, but ends up in front of his gun with Colton and Anna. Stark comes by and gets Rico to back down. Anna demands to know if Rico is working for him. Stark orders his men to hold them and walks away. In the operating room, Monica and Tony discover that Commargo has carbon monoxide poisoning. Just then, Stark barges in and accuses the nurse (who is actually his hired assassin) of trying to kill Commargo and shoots her dead! Afterwards, Stark takes control of the 8th floor.

At the PC hotel, Lucy throws things at Scott and tells him to get out. He is vile and disgusting! Scott confesses he saw her at the sperm bank. He knew about her plan from talking to Gunther. Isn't she going to thank him for helping her get pregnant. Lucy is appalled. She asks him what he wants in return for his silence. He only wants one thing: name the kid little Scotty. Lucy grabs her bags and walks out.

Anna and Stark enter the operating room while Monica and Tony are finishing up with Commargo. Stark defends his actions in shooting the nurse. She was trying to kill Commargo! Anna checks the tanks and finds out they really are full of carbon monoxide.

Meanwhile, Alan is chatting with Tom about his impending fatherhood when he learns that Monica has been called up to the 8 floor. He thinks that is strange, as the 8 floor is being renovated. They decide to go up together. Once they exit the elevator, a man pulls out a gun on them!

Frisco and Sean arrive at GH and meet with Steve to start assessing the situation on the 8 floor. They have no idea who is running the show up there. Sean gets a message from Stark with demands.

Stark greets Tom and Alan. He decides to bring them into the operating room as Commargo's surgery continues. Alan asks Monica what's going on. She sighs. If Commargo dies, they all do! Commargo starts going south, and the henchmen freak out, trying to get the scalpel away from Monica. She fights with them. Alan jumps in, getting a gun pointed at him. Monica dives in front of him and demands that Stark let her return to Commargo before his president dies! Stark tells her to get to it and she and Tony save Commargo. Alan watches Monica while she works. She just saved his life!

Scott returns to the mansion with Lucy. She wants nothing to do with him! She makes herself scarce as Tracy appears. Scott lies to Tracy about where he has been. Lucy listens at the door, then walks in, pretending she was at a movie. Later, Lucy gets a call from GH saying that Alan has been taken hostage. Apparently there are some terrorists taking control of the hospital. Tracy is more worried about ELQ than Alan. She runs off to put a lid on the press. Scott can see that Lucy is really flustered about Alan. She doesn't really care about the old jack ass, does she? Lucy steams. That old jack ass is her husband and he's in real danger!

After Commargo comes out of surgery, everyone is clustered at the nurses desk, held at gunpoint. Anna questions Tony and Monica about the shooting in the operating room.

Downstairs in Steve's office, Robert arrives and talks to Stark. Stark wont allow anyone to leave the 8 floor until Commargo is out of the woods.

Back upstairs, Anna convinces Stark to have food sent up for them all. In private, she asks Tom and Amy about getting the keys to the drug cabinet. She Amy tries to convince Rico to let her go to the ladies room, but they wont let her.

Back upstairs, Anna's plan to drug Stark backfires. Stark tastes his coffee and spits it out. Angry, he grabs her by the throat. That wasn't wise, Mrs. Lavery.

At the nurses station, the hostages wait nervously while the guards get edgy. They start talking amongst themselves, wondering how they will get out once Rico gets what he wants. Stark decides to take Tony off Commargo's case and turn him over to Monica. Alan demands to be allowed to go with her as they are taken back to Commargo's room. Stark calls Robert to make more demands. Robert speaks to Anna briefly. In Commargo's room, Monica tries to convince Commargo not to give Stark any information. If he gives Stark the account number, he will kill them all! The guard comes back in waving his gun around. Alan jumps him, and in the process Monica is shot! It turns out to be a flesh wound. Stark orders Tony to take care of Commargo. Alan and Monica move to a private room, where Alan takes care of her leg wound.

At home, Lucy is taking a pregnancy test when Scott walks in. She quickly hides it, but Scott finds it -- and five other ones! Wondering if we're pregnant, are we? Lucy tells him to get out. She has everything she's ever wanted. She's not going to let him mess it up! Scott loves up to her and tries to convince her that she needs love in her life. She needs him! He gives her a smoochie but she throws him out. In the hall, Tracy catches Scott outside Lucy's door and realizes he's two timing her. She bursts into Lucy's room, but Lucy doesn't seem to be there. She apologizes to Scott. They start to make out and sojourn downstairs. As they leave, Lucy stumbles out of the closet.

At GH, Alan and Monica are still in a room by themselves. Alan is worried about how Lila is handling this. She's so delicate these days. Monica smirks. Horse feathers! Lila has weathered many a crisis. She'll be fine. Alan thanks her for giving he and Lucy the house. Monica confesses she thought Lucy was blackmailing her over the situation with Ned. Alan suspects Lucy may be lying about being pregnant.

Out by the nurses station, Alan slips Decker a key to the medicine room so that he can access the vent and join Colton. Amy fakes another panic attack so that Decker can slip away. Stark confronts Anna, realizing Decker is gone. The guards drag him back. Stark demands to know where he went. Decker claims he went off to see his mother. Stark punches him and warns the others to stay in line.

Alan and Monica join the others by then nurses station and give Decker an update on Charlene. She's doing fine. Stark has Anna talk to Robert to pave the way for their escape. Robert tells Anna to stay on her toes. It's all about to blow up. Stark rips the phone away from her. Meanwhile, Colton gets the upper hand on a couple of guards. And knocks them out. The Cat Squad arrives at the 8 floor via air vents. Back at the nurses station, Decker and Anna create a distraction by fighting. Stark decides to gather everyone together, including Charlene. Monica fights him on it, but Alan pulls her back. Tom tells Anna he'd rather make a stand than wait for Stark to come back and shoot them all. Anna notices the smoke coming in. Robert's plan is beginning. They spread the word to the other hostages. Chaos breaks out as everyone freaks out thinking there is a fire. Stark's men flee. Robert catches them in the elevator trying to make their escape. The hostages all gather and applaud as Stark is led out. They praise Anna for taking charge during the crisis. Afterwards, Alan and Monica go back to Monica's office to chill out and reflect on what they've been through. Monica wants to find Dawn. Alan makes her sit back and relax. They realize how precious life is. Monica vows to live every moment to the fullest and

At the mansion, the Q family learns that the hostage situation has come to an end. They watch Shep Casey's news coverage on TV. Later, Alan returns home with Monica in tow. He has invited her to stay in the mansion. Lucy seethes. In private, she complains to Alan about it. Did he have to invite his ex-wife to stay with them? Alan tells her that Monica has been through a terrible ordeal -- and lest Lucy forget, it was HER house before it was Lucy's. He enlightens her: Monica told him how it got to be her home. She blackmailed Monica to get the mansion!

Scott shows up at the mansion. Tracy is all smiles. She tells him that Alan doubts Lucy is pregnant. The fireworks are about to begin!

Upstairs, Lucy hides her pregnancy test when Alan walks in. He tells her he wants her to have an examination at GH. Lucy scrambles. She doesn't need an examination. She just had one! Alan insists. He wants to make sure everything is okay with her pregnancy.

At GH, Dawn catches up with Monica. She's so relieved Monica wasn't hurt in the hostage crisis. They chat in the lounge. Monica hopes Dawn will make the right choice about Decker.

Returning to the mansion, Monica asks to speak to Ned. Dawn is going to ask for an annulments. Monica wonders what Ned is planning to do about it. Ned wants to get Dawn back.

Alan and Lucy arrive at GH. Lucy is still trying to head Alan off. She suggests that Alan go home and she'll fill him in on everything that happened. Alan wont back down. Scott calls Lucy and tells her that Alan doubts she's pregnant. That's the reason for his sudden interest in her doctor's appointment. Dr. Morgan arrives. Lucy thinks she's in luck when he gets a page, but it turns out to be a non-emergency. She goes through the examination, but to her surprise -- and certainly Alan's -- she really is pregnant. Lucy practically does a happy dance. She hugs Doctor Morgan while Alan eats crow.

Back at the mansion, Larry tells Scott and Tracy that his source just confirmed it -- Lucy is indeed with child. Scott's face turns to stone while Tracy huffs. Lucy finally decides to tell the truth about something and it has to be this? Later, Tracy finds Lucy in the den reading a book on pre-natal care. She sits down and congratulates Lucy on her little bundle of joy.

At GH, Alan chides Monica for working too hard. They talk about Dawn. Monica is concerned that Dawn is blind when it comes to Decker. Alan convinces Monica to go home and get some rest.

Scott corners Lucy in the mansion. He hands her a cigar. He's going to be a father! Lucy glares at him. This is Alan's baby, not his! She doesn't need either one of them anyway -- remember the diamonds? No one has claimed them. That means they will be hers at the end of November.

At the mansion, Lucy chats with Tracy about all the things she wants to give her child. She's going to need more room once the baby comes, so she's kicking Tracy and Larry out. They have until the 30th of November to vacate, then saunters away. Tracy plays it cool while Ashton starts to panic. What? She can't do that! Tracy wonders why Lucy has chosen such an arbitrary date. What's she got up her sleeve now? Later, Larry tries to reason with Lucy about kicking them out during the holidays, but Lucy wont budge. The timing is convenient for her.

Alan walks on Lucy making plans to redecorate the house. He tells her she can't do that. It's Monica's house. He reminds her that she is only living there because Monica had the grace not to demand it back. Lucy points out that he has been singing Monica's praises quite a lot lately. The fact is, she is planning to buy the mansion once she gets her diamonds. Alan shushes her. He doesn't want to talk about Victor Jerome or the diamonds ever again!

Scott, Tracy and Ashton look for their ad in the morning paper. Lucy walks in, upset that Colton's name is splashed all over the front page. She can't take the embarrassment! The threesome fret that she is going to see the ad they placed, so Ashton wrestles the paper away from her. Lila tries to calm Lucy down about the bad press. They have all had their share of it. Lucy tells Lila that she is planning to name her baby after the dear departed Edward. Lila rolls her eyes. Oh, good heavens . . .

Lucy sees the ad in the paper about the diamonds and flips out. She orders Jennings to get her a car NOW! When she arrives at the PCPD, she finds out that Scott has been sniffing around her diamonds. She marches to his office and confronts him. He placed this ad in the paper, didn't he?! He tells her to calm down. This is not way to talk to the father of her child. He doesn't deny looking at the diamonds; it's their child's birthright. Does she really think he would try to undercut his own child? He blames the newspaper ad on Tracy. Lucy wants proof. She tells him to get the bill for the ad which shows that Tracy paid for it. He has until 3 o'clock.

Back at the mansion, Lucy pumps Ashton for information about the ad. He feigns innocence.

At GH, Lucy calls asking to speak to Monica, but Amy brushes her off. Monica and Alan walk by, seeing Dawn in the lounge. Monica sits down with her and they talk about Dawn's plans to marry Decker. Monica is happy for her even though she's not thrilled with Decker. It'll be a whole new start for them. They hug. Afterwards, Alan tells Monica how happy he is that she and Dawn have mended their relationship. Amy finally tells Monica that Lucy was calling for her earlier, so Monica sighs and leaves. Afterwards, Tony congratulates Alan on his new baby. Nothing brings a couple together like a child. It's bond they'll have forever! Alan sighs. Forever with Lucy?

At the mansion, Scott brings a receipt to Lucy from the newspaper ad with Tracy's name on it. She buys it. Tracy placed that ad! Scott reminds her that Jerome could have another heir out there. He could have heirs crawling out of the woodwork! Lucy gets flustered, believing he's right. What is she going to do? Scott says he can help her -- but he has to go. He walks out, leaving her upset. Later, Monica arrives. Lucy tells her she wants to by the mansion. She'll pay whatever Monica wants in cash. Just name her price. Monica laughs herself silly. That'll happen when pigs fly and Nixon is re-elected to office! She lectures Lucy on how she can't buy respectability. Hasn't she learned that yet? Later, Scott arrives to razz her some more. They hear Alan and Monica talking in the foyer and listen at the door. Monica is moving back to the hotel. She thanks Alan and gives him a little kissy before she leaves, which makes Lucy boil.

At the mansion, everyone is getting ready to leave for Cheryl's party at Delafield's. Lucy is bringing her own food with her. She has a basket of seaweed. It's loaded with vitamins and minerals that are good for the baby. Tracy quips, maybe they could drop her in the harbor so she could graze. Lucy glares and leaves the room. Tracy sends Ashton out in the cold so that she can get Scott to herself. Alone, she drapes herself all over him and tries to get him to tell her what he's got going on with Lucy. Why does she get the feeling he's two-timing her? Lucy returns with Alan and they are disgusted by the sight of Tracy and Scott making out. Alan reminds everyone that this is Cheryl's night, so don't forget it.

At Delafield's, Lucy talks to Robert and learns that Scott lied about snooping around her diamonds. She pulls Scott onto the dance floor to confront him about it. Scott backpedals about why Tracy and Ashton were with him. Tracy wants to know what Scott and Lucy are talking about. She pulls Ashton onto the dance floor and tries to get close enough to hear them, but can't. When Scott goes back to the table, Tracy confronts him. What was he talking about with Lucy?

Alan and Monica meet outside Kelly's. Monica is there to support Dawn through her annulment. They cant over the fact that she is going to marry Decker. They go inside. Monica gives Dawn a wedding present. $5000 to start her new life. Dawn wont accept it. Decker is sensitive when it comes to money (because Ned is rich). She can't do this to him.

At Kelly's, Monica waits with Dawn for Decker to arrive for their wedding. He's late. Dawn is sure he'll be there. Downstairs, they learn from Katherine that Decker has gotten a bonus check. Dawn thinks he's out spending it on something wonderful for their wedding. Monica calls the bank to find out if Decker has cashed his check. Dawn gets angry when she finds out. How could Monica check up on him like that! Later, Frankie tells them that he saw Decker on a brand new motorcycle. Dawn frets, but thinks Frankie saw someone else, not Decker. Decker would not run out on her like this!

At the Q mansion, Scott is on the phone with the newspaper telling them to run the diamond ad seven days a week. He quickly hangs up when Lucy walks in. Lucy frets that a Jerome heir will pop out of the woodwork and steal her diamonds. Later, while talking to Lila, Lucy learns the old Harrington mansion was last rented by Victor Jerome. Perhaps she will call her real estate agent right away and have a look at it!

At Kelly's, Monica is still waiting with Dawn for Decker to arrive. Dawn's head is in the clouds. She thinks Decker is still on his way. Later, Alan meets Monica there. He wishes there was something he could do for Dawn. Shep arrives and tells Dawn that Decker left town after an unlucky hand at poker. Alan and Monica listen outside the door.

At Kelly's, Lucy meets with the real estate agent about the Harrington mansion. When the woman isn't looking, she manages to snatch the key to the estate. Then she's off, but first runs into Scott outside. He wonders what she's up to and follows her. At the Harrington mansion, Lucy is snooping around in the dark when Scott gives her a scare. Lucy screams. What is he doing there?! Scott tells her that she needn't go through all this trouble -- he told her he would find the Jerome heir if there is one. Lucy doesn't trust him. They start looking around. Scott finds the Jerome family bible. He tears a page out of it before turning it over to Lucy. Maybe this is what they're looking for. Lucy takes it from him and runs off with it.

Lucy returns home and tells Alan that she wants to buy the old Harrington mansion. She doesn't want to raise her child in a house that doesn't belong to them. He might feel like an outsider. Alan argues with her about it, and Lucy fakes a fainting spell to garner his sympathy. Later, Jennings tells them that there is car pulled up to the Harrington mansion next door. It is probably a real estate agent showing the house. Lucy starts to panic. She tells Alan to call the police. It could be thieves!

The police arrive at the Harrington mansion. Scott hides as Frisco bursts in. Tracy covers, telling him she saw a light on and decided to investigate. Frisco is skeptical, but leaves. They keep looking through the letters and get a lead on Berlin. Tracy wants to head off right away, but Scott tells her to stay put in PC. He'll handle this on his own. Lucy will get suspicious if they both leave the country.

At the mansion, Lucy is on the phone trying to find out if a police report was filed on the break-in at the Harrington estate last night. She peeved when she's unable to find out anything. Alan walks in. Lucy tries to talk him into going to the Halloween part at Delafield's.

At the mansion, Lucy is in a tizzy about Scott's sudden trip out of town. She knows it has something to do with the missing Jerome heir. She covers her panic by telling Alan she's worried that Scott is trying to pull some type of ELQ maneuver. Alan doesn't care. He reads the paper and reports that Felicia has had a baby girl. Lucy raises and eyebrow. She wonders if Frisco is with her at the hospital. She would just love to see the new baby. She runs out. Later, she finds the Jones family at the hospital and presents them with an enormous teddy bear for their new baby. Then she pulls Frisco aside and asks him what went down at the Harrington place last night. Frisco doesn't have time for her since he needs to get his wife and child home. Don't you Quartermaines talk to each other? He walks away, leaving Lucy seething.

Lucy confronts Tracy about the Harrington estate. What was she doing snooping there? Tracy gloats because she knows she's holding all the cards.

Lucy runs into Scott at the PC hotel. Has he found the Jerome heir? Scott assures her he hasn't. The diamonds will be hers on November 30th.

At the mansion, Alan is irate that Lucy his written a check for one hundred thousand dollars. The check is going to bounce! Airhead Lucy thinks he can just move the money from one account from another to cover the check. She only wants to get the Harrington estate for their lovely little family. Alan threatens to stop payment on the check and storms out.

At GH, Monica and Dawn help Meg figure out the legal document she has gotten from Harrison. Apparently he has signed the condo over to her. The girls fret because they can't afford it. Monica offers to buy the place for them and they can just pay utilities. In private, Meg thanks Monica, but Monica is even more grateful to her for helping Dawn get over Decker. Later, Monica goes with Dawn and Meg to Willow Shores. The super is there and assures them that the water problem has been fixed and the water is safe to drink.

Lucy calls Scott all weepy and asks him to come over. When he arrives, she plays him. She's been mean to him lately. She starts getting kissy with him, and Scott can see that she has called him over to "service" her. Lucy wants to be alone with him. She wishes they had a place they could meet in private. How about the Harrington place? She tries to con Scott into putting up the cash for the down payment on the Harrington estate. Alan walks in and tells her he's going to let the check go through for the Harrington estate, but if she ever pulls a stunt like this again, he's going to take her off their joint account. After Alan walks out, Scott calls Lucy out. If she EVER tries to use him like that again, he's going to blow the whistle on her so fast it'll make her head spin!

At the condo, Monica and Dawn chat about her new digs. Monica notices that the tap water tastes terrible. Dawn tells her they are out of bottled water.

The Quartermaines are all enjoying a peaceful breakfast in the den when Lucy bounces in claiming she is going to be on TV! It's a show called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Privileged". It seems she met a man filming the show and got herself booked on the show. Tracy ups to Larry. What if this is a real show? What if she blabs about the diamonds? Later, Alan is on the phone about the food drive at GH. Lucy wants to volunteer at the GH food drive just to perk up her image.

Lucy frets about Thanksgiving dinner. It is her first as "mistress" of the house and she wants everything to be perfect! She wants to serve duck instead of turkey but Charlene brings a turkey with her. Lucy is peeved when Monica and Scott show up for dinner. Everyone moves in to the living room for a friendly chat before dinner, which centers around Lucy and all of her plans for the Herrington mansion once she gets her hands on those diamonds. Scott and Tracy beam, because they know she's not going to get them. Afterwards, Alan toasts to the Quartermaines. Touching nod to Edward.

At the mansion, Lucy is giddy about getting her diamonds. It's November 30th! Charlene thinks she's already the most wealthy woman in Port Charles. What does she need the diamonds for? Lucy goes to see Robert to collect the diamonds. Robert wont give them to her. She gets irate and assumes Scott is behind this. She starts ranting and raving, but Robert shuts her up and tells her he can't turn them over until the end of the business day.

At the mansion, Scott arrives looking for Lucy as Cheryl, Charlene and Lila are having a business meeting. Lucy returns back home and gloats to about her diamonds. She's going to get them at 5pm today! She leaves to freshen up for her big event. Scott follows her out and professes his love to her. He's in love with her, and he's going to love her until the day he dies! Lucy thinks he's drunk and walks away.

At GH, Alan and Monica are walking out together. Monica brings up that today is the day Lucy gets her diamonds. Alan doesn't want to be reminded. He's so tired of Lucy and all her schemes. He thinks the Q's are a laughingstock because of Lucy. Monica is sorry. He needs a night out. She invites him to dinner with her and Dawn.

Lucy is upstairs with the girls getting dressed for her five PM deadline. She's buzzing with excitement until someone mentions the time. It's after five! They realize that the clock in the den must have been one hour off. Lucy realizes Scott tricked her. He tricked her! She missed her diamonds! She starts to freak out. Lila calls Alan at GH to come home and calm Lucy down. When Alan arrives, Lucy puts on her usual show for him. Lucy wants him to examine her and make sure she hasn't hurt the baby. Alan reveals that he's brought Kyle Morgan home to examine her. He's going to go have a cocktail downstairs.

At Delafield's, Dawn introduces Edge to Monica.

At GH, Alan and Monica are having a bite to eat in the cafeteria. Monica is glad that Lucy and the baby are going to be okay. Alan grumbles that he wishes Lucy had never gotten pregnant. They both get notifications of an ELQ board meeting tomorrow. Monica volunteers to head over to ELQ and find out what Ned and Tracy have up their sleeve. At Ned's office, Ned and Tracy tell her this meeting is all about Scott and his meddling in ELQ business. Alone, Monica yells at Ned about the way he keeps messing with Dawn's life. Stay away from her!

At the mansion, Lucy gripes to Charlene about her diamonds. If she cant have them no one will! She's heads to the PCPD to give Scorpio a piece of her mind. Later, Alan questions Scott about the board meeting tomorrow. Tracy is out for blood because of him and this mess with the diamonds. Alan warns Scott that he is not going down without a fight. Charlene arrives and tells Scott that Lucy has gone down to the PCPD about the diamonds. Scott runs out.

At Robert's office, Scott arrives just as Lucy busts in and starts ranting to Robert about how unfair it is that she's not getting her diamonds. Robert hushes her. He has a document that proves there are no more Jerome heirs. The diamonds are hers. Lucy's jaw drops as the pouch falls into her hand. They're all hers! She jumps up and down, hugging everyone in the room. Just as she is about to crack out the champagne, the IRS shows up to confiscate the diamonds for back taxes and fees. Ahh! Lucy combusts. She runs out of the room screaming. Scott follows her and laughs at her situation. Her checks are going to bounce all over town!

Lucy returns home and greets Alan with a kiss. She wants to hear all about his day. Alan surmises she didn't get the diamonds. The IRS took them, didn't they? Lucy nods. She's planning to contest the IRS and get the diamonds back. Alan wants her to forget about diamonds. He shows her a stack of bills she has created. How is she planning to pay off all these depts? Lucy claims she was only trying to make a nice home for him and their baby. Alan is disgusted. She's the most selfish greedy person he's ever seen in his life! Lucy gets all weepy. How could he say this to someone who loves him so much and is carrying his child?!! Alan walks out angry. Later, Lucy corners him. They have to talk. Alan doesn't think they have anything left to talk about. She doesn't love him, she only loves what he can do for her. He was a fool to marry her! She played on his every weakness and got exactly what she wanted! Their marriage is over.

Alan passes through the bedroom to get his shaving kit while Lucy chatters about their baby. Alan's moving into the guest bedroom. He's sick to death of her deception. Lucy wines. He can't leave her! What is she supposed to do?! Alan doesn't care. She got herself in this, she can get herself out. Later, Larry comes to see Lucy. He's been giving her situation a lot of thought and tries to talk her into a business endeavor. Lucy's not interested. Charlene stops by and thinks Lucy should be more worried about all the debt she's run up over that silly Harrington estate. Lucy thinks she still has an ace in the hole. She gets a telegram about an emergency board meeting at ELQ. She thinks this is all about Alan wanting to make up with her. Downstairs, Tracy and Ned gloat to Alan. They argue about Scott's lifetime contract at ELQ. Tracy accuses Alan. He's either protecting Scott, or needs protection from him. Alan wont dignify that. He walks out. Ashton arrives and tells them that Lucy confessed to him she has a savior. Someone is helping her bankroll the Harrington estate. Perhaps it is Scott. Later, all of the Quartermaines get telegrams to be at an important ELQ board meeting. Ned and Alan accuse each other of deceit. It turns out Scott sent the telegrams. He tells the Qs he is resigning from ELQ. All jaws hit the floor.

The quarreling Q's return to the mansion and argue about Scott's bombshell. Finger pointing and accusations ensue. Tracy and Alan scream at each other until Lila whips them into shape. Quartermaines don't behave this way. Edward would be ashamed of them! Jennings tells them that he has seen lights in the boathouse. Should he call the police. Alan leaves to take care of it.

Scott and Lucy meet in the Q boathouse -- the place were it all started! Lucy doesn't want to talk about Victor Jerome ever again! Scott wants Lucy to dump Alan. He still loves her! He wants to be a father to their child. Lucy nods, but she has her fingers crossed as Scott kisses her! She start angling towards getting the diamonds from him. Scott take the diamonds and tosses them in the water! Lucy screams and tries to jump in after them (it's December for God's sake!) but Scott stops her. Lucy freaks out. Why did he do that!? Scott wants to make honest money. Lucy thinks he's nuts! Alan comes looking for Lucy, so they hide until he leaves. Afterwards, Lucy cries for her diamonds. If she only had a wet suit . . .

Lucy returns to the mansion as Alan is talking to Monica and Lila about returning to ELQ. Lucy walks in. That's a fabulous idea! She wants to throw a party for the stockholders. Alan wants her to pay off her debt. He leaves to drive Monica home. Alone with Lila, Lucy asks for advice. Mother Quartermaine, how would a Quartermaine wife get out of this situation? Lila politely tells her that they wouldn't have gotten in it in the first place and wheels herself out. Lucy seethes. Later, Scott shows up. He's going to apply for a loan to help her get out of her debt. He wants her to co-sign so that they can use the Quartermaine name to get back on easy street. Lucy huffs and signs it.

At Kelly's, Scott tells Lucy the loan was approved.

Lucy finds Alan at GH. She's there for an appointment with Kyle. Alan thinks she can't miss an opportunity to remind him she's pregnant. Lucy tells him she has a plan to pay back all her debts. While they are talking, Dawn is rushed into the ER unconscious.

At GH, Monica looks after Dawn in the ER. Edge comes in to see Dawn. Monica asks him to leave. They don't know what' s wrong with her yet. Ned arrives to see Dawn but Monica refuses to let him see her.

At GH, Monica throws Decker out of Dawn's hospital room. Out in the hall, Decker and Ned go at it over the letter Ned wrote to Dawn as Decker. Alan keeps them from tearing each other apart.

Scott meets with Alan at GH. Alan wants to know why he quit ELQ. Lucy lurks and listens as Scott claims he's changed. He pulls the pendant out of his pocket and gives it to Alan. It's his. Alan is suspicious. What does he want in return? Scott wants a new life. Alan notices Lucy watching them and calls her out. What is she doing here? Lucy says she's there to see Decker. Alan doesn't buy it. Scott leaves, and Alan asks Lucy what's going on with her and Scott. He reveals that Scott gave him the pendant. He warns Lucy that she'd better not being plotting with Scott against him or she will regret it! They return home (Lila has it all decked out for Christmas). They continue their conversation about Scott. Alan accuses Lucy of being in cahoots with him. Lucy insists to Alan that she has changed. She doesn't care about money anymore. All she wants to do is rebuild their lives together. Alan thinks that's a shame, because he was all set to bail her out to save the Q name from the embarrassment. If she truly has changed, she wont mind paying off her own debt now will she?

At GH, Scott pulls Lucy into a supply closet. He makes another play for her. It's HIS baby she's carrying! Lucy thinks he's planning to use the baby to blackmail her. He's going to blab to Alan, isn't he? Scott is just trying to save her from a loveless marriage.

At GH, Decker is trying to see Dawn again. Monica heads him off. She doesn't want him upsetting her daughter again. Later, Dawn cries on Monica's shoulder over Decker's letter.

At GH, Dawn wants to go home. Monica speaks to Rita about the tests on Willow Shores. There is still nothing conclusive as to why Dawn got sick. Monica is sure something in the condo made her sick. Later, Tony plays Santa for the GH Christmas party. Monica pulls him aside to ask about the lab tests. Tony has nothing. Later, Alan and Monica surprise Dawn with a Christmas celebration in her hospital room. Dawn gets a present from Decker.

At the mansion, Lucy comes downstairs as everyone is gathering for a family meeting. Alan grumbles that she's not invited and shuts the door in her face. Lucy frets. He's going to divorce her! That's what this is about! She runs to the phone and calls Scott, getting his machine. She reaches him at the Jones house and tells Scott to get over the mansion ASAP! Monica arrives for the meeting and everyone takes a seat. Alan starts talking about how he didn't want Lucy to be part of this meeting, and Tracy salivates. She thinks Alan is about to dump Lucy. She speaks up before he can get a word in. She knows what he is about to say, and she agrees one hundred percent! Alan is pleased. Wonderful -- he'll set up the trust fund right away. Tracy frowns. Trust fund? Alan announces he is setting up a trust fund for Lucy's baby. Tracy's mouth falls open. She gripes to Ashton about Lucy's lovechild getting it's paws on the Quartermaine fortune. After the meeting adjourns, Lucy (in the dark about the trust fund) whines to Lila about being depressed. She wants to be more involved in the family. Lila spills the beans about the trust fund. Lucy practically drools. Alan is setting up a trust fund? Did he say how much? Later, Lucy meets with Scott. She has a plan to pay back all that money they owe!

At the mansion, Lucy is peeved about Carla's engagement announcement in the paper. Lucy's name is in the paper as having a relative employed by the Q family! Tracy walks in and takes credit for the article. Lucy thinks she did it just to embarrass her. Later, Decker comes by to see Carla about the situation with Colton and Body Heat. Lucy overhears, then runs to the phone to call Alan at GH. Scott arrives later, and Lucy talks to him about her plan to milk the trust fund to solve their financial crisis. All they have to do is be patient. Scott doesn't want her with the old "Geezer" anymore.

Monica comes to visit Dawn in her hospital room. They talk about Decker. Dawn admits that she's still in love with him.

At GH, Tracy bumps into Alan and talks to him about the trust fund. She doesn't want to see it abused. Alan assures her the lawyers are taking care of it. Nothing will go wrong. Later, Lucy shows up to see Alan. She wants a favor from him. She knows about the trust fund. She wants to keep it quiet. She claims it's making her nervous. Everyone thinks she married him for his money the way it is. She doesn't want this to confirm their suspicions. Alan doesn't think it matters. The money is for the baby, not her. But he agrees.

Dawn reads Christmas cards (one of which is from Scott) at GH with Monica. They get to talking about the shady situation between Alan and Lucy and Scott. Monica thinks that it's great the way Alan has been shafted. It's the best thing that's ever happened to him! Dawn understands because she's been hurt too. She can't let it go. Later, Monica chats with Rita.

Back to Top

Dawn comes to stay with Monica, Scott tells Alan Lucy's baby is his, Lucy loses the baby, ELQ in trouble, Monica banishes Tracy and Ashton to the gatehouse, Monica tries to warn Dawn about Edge, Dawn's death.

At home, Tracy and Lucy snipe at each other over breakfast. Alan walks in and tells them the trust agreement is finished. Lucy is so happy to hear that! Tracy is disgusted. After Alan and Lucy both leave, Tracy grumbles about the trust fund. She can' t believe Alan is going through with it. Lila mentions the transfer of the stock, which is news to Larry. He is happy for her. What a great wedding gift! Lila is shocked. What wedding? Larry proudly states that Tracy is considering re-marrying him. Tracy flips. She is NOT! Lila is relieved -- they do much better as than marriage partners. After Lila leaves, Tracy finds a letter from the bank for Lucy. They open it and find out that Scott and Lucy took out a loan together and the first payment is due. Tracy blows her top. They need to prove the baby is Scott' s, pronto! Later, Scott shows up at the Qs to find out if Lucy got the papers from the bank. Lucy says she wasn' t able to get money out of Alan this week. Tracy is at the top of the stairs eavesdropping. Afterwards, Tracy tries to get Lila to hold off signing the trust fund papers. On the flip side, Lucy is trying to hurry her up. Lila signs them. Tracy follows Lucy out and makes some remarks about worrying about Scott and his finances. Lucy asks her to keep the trust fund information private.

Alan and Monica take Dawn home from GH. They go to Monica's hotel room and have a chance to chat in private. Monica is so happy Dawn has come home. Alan is so tired of Lucy and her games. Monica doesn' t hold anything back. He knows this is all his fault, right? She can actually see Lucy' s side of things. Alan left her out of the trust fund meeting, and he doesn' t seem interested in her their child at all. Alan sighs. Later, Lucy shows up at Monica' s hotel room looking for Alan, but finds only Dawn and Carla are there. Lucy learns from Carla that Scott is on his way to see Tracy at the mansion.

Meanwhile, Scott goes to the bank to pay off the loan and runs into the guy whose there to get the trust fund notarized. Scott learns that Lila has signed it, and Lucy pushed her to do it! He can' t believe it! She double-crossed him!

At GH, Scott corners Lucy in an elevator to confront her about the trust fund. Is she trying to play him for a fool? She knew about the trust fund! He accuses her of lying to him. Lucy doesn' t deny it. She has the money and the Q heir and she doesn' t need him! He' s a loser! She runs away from him, and he follows her all the way back to the Q mansion, where they scream at each other in the foyer. Alan comes running downstairs. What is going on? Scott comes right out with it. That baby Lucy is carrying is HIS!

Lucy starts rambling to Alan that Scott is lying. She loves him and this is his child not Scott' s! Alan doesn' t believe her. It has always been about money with her. He has had it with her lies! He' s done! Lucy cries and Alan yells at her. He' s going! He starts to leave, but Lucy starts cramping and falls to the floor! Alan thinks she' s performing, but soon realizes she isn' t. Jennings, call an ambulance! The paramedics show up to take Lucy to the hospital.

At Monica' s hotel room, Monica gets a call from Jennings about Lucy (Tracy and Ashton are there too). Monica rushes off to be with Alan. Ashton pulls Tracy aside. They contributed to this---they are the ones who lit the fuse!

At GH, Alan waits in the waiting area. Scott arrives and is livid. What did he do to Lucy?! Tom keeps Scott from ripping Alan apart and pulls him away. Later, Monica comes to be with Alan. She tells him it is not his fault. Alan doesn' t believe for a minute that he' s the father of Lucy' s baby. They' ve both played him for a fool! Monica urges him to control his temper. He can' t do something crazy like he did when he found out she and Rick were having an affair. Alan has a flashback. Lucy doctor comes out and tells them Lucy has gone into premature labor. They the baby is in danger. Scott and Alan try to rip each other apart again. Later, Alan and Monica return. Lucy' s doctor tells him that they haven' t been able to stop the contractions. Lucy is most likely going to lose the baby. Scott starts to lose it again. He blames Alan for the whole thing. If anything happens to Lucy or the baby, he' s going to kill him! Alan walks away, and Monica tells Scott to calm down.

Alan goes in to see Lucy while the doctor is checking on her. She is crying, begging her doctor to save her baby. He promises they are doing everything they can. Alan tries to leave, but Lucy wants him to stay. Scott was lying! He is the father of her child. Alan doesn' t want her to think about that now. He holds her hand and Lucy makes him promise not to leave the room. Outside, Scott is trying to get in to see Lucy. The doctor won' t let him. Scott makes a ruckus, and Monica shushes him. Alan is in with Lucy. The last thing Lucy needs is Scott and Alan tearing each other apart again. Scott tells her HE is the father of Lucy' s baby, not Alan. Monica is floored. Back in Lucy' s room, Lucy is hysterical. Alan is trying to keep her calm. She keeps trying to tell him she didn' t do anything wrong. She wants him to believe her. She loves him and would never cheat on him! Something goes wrong and Lucy starts screaming. Her water broke! Everyone rushes in. Lucy is screaming for Alan as he leaves the room. Monica tries to comfort Alan. He is sorry the child died, but knows it was not his. Monica is afraid he may to try to kill Scott. He' s tried to kill over less, hasn' t he? Alan sighs. He' s not going to kill anybody. Later, Scott returns with gifts for the baby. Monica breaks the news to him that the baby didn' t make it. Scott is devastated. Was it a boy or girl? Monica says it was a little boy. Scott begs to go see Lucy but Monica tells him to wait.

Alan returns home and tells Ashton to leave the room. He wants to speak to Tracy alone. She has known it was Scott' s baby all along! Tracy tries to deny it, but fesses up. Alan is furious. Why didn' t she tell him? Tracy asks him if he would have believed her. She' s not the villain . . . she is the one who told him from the start that Lucy was a gold digger who was out to take him and the family for a ride! Alan has to admit she' s right. Tracy is worried about the trust fund he has set up for a baby who' s not a Quartermaine. Alan tells her the trust fund doesn' t exist. Lucy lost the baby.

Scott goes in to see Lucy. She doesn' t want to see him. He tells her how sorry he is. That baby was his and he wanted it. Lucy thinks this is all his fault. Why did he tell Alan he was the father? He ruined everything! Scott thinks they could have had it all, and now they have nothing. He leaves, and Lucy cries. Outside, Scott sees a stuffed animal on the floor that fell out of his bag. He breaks down.

Scott comes back to Lucy' s room to see her. The doctor is there and tells Scott to stay away. Lucy says it is fine she can handle him, so the doc leaves. Scott wants to talk to her about this. They can' t let it end this way. He wants to make a clean start when she gets out of the hospital. Lucy never wants to see him again. It made her sick to her stomach that it was Scott' s baby. She wanted a real Quartermaine baby! She had to pretend it was Alan' s so she could love it! Scott is devastated. She doesn' t mean this! Lucy throws him out.

Alan comes to Monica' s hotel room. He is freezing from walking six blocks. Monica warms his hands up and gives him tea. He wants to thank her for helping him through the ordeal with Lucy and for not letting him kill Scott Baldwin. Would she like to go out for dinner? She' s already ordered room service. She invites him to stay and split it with her. Over dinner, Monica worries about Dawn being out in this storm. Alan offers to go out and find her. Monica thinks he would just be missing too. Alan wonders if that would matter to her. Does she have feelings for him? Monica tries to brush him off. They are having dinner together. Doesn' t that count for anything? Alan thinks he really screwed things up for them. Monica thinks it was a two way street.

Monica gets a call from Dawn saying that she is okay. They are holed up in an empty ELQ office. Monica is relieved she is okay. Later, Monica shows up at the office to get Dawn. They hug. A news report comes on the radio about Broxton being arrested for the contaminated water at Willow Shores. Now they finally know what made Dawn sick. That is worth a toast!

The Quartermaines arrive at ELQ for a meeting. Lila pulls Alan and Tracy aside to talk to them in private. Tracy has a confident smile, which worries Alan. What' s going on now? Lila informs him that she is transferring some of her shares to Tracy so that they are equal. It' s what Edward would have wanted. Alan blows his top. She can' t be serious! Tracy gloats. Alan tells her to shut up and they fight. Lila silences them both. Her mind is made up! Tracy points out that with Ned' s shares and hers they own 50% of ELQ. Monica arrives at the tail end of it. After Tracy and Ned leave, Alan rants to her. Now that Tracy and Ned have this much power they are going to be deadly!

Tracy and Lila arrive at GH to visit Lucy. Lila is sweet to her, but Tracy is a little crusty, as usual. She is sure to mention to that their next stop is to meet with the lawyers about the trust fund. After all, she doesn' t need it anymore, does she? Oops . . . she didn' t mean to be insensitive. Lila tells Lucy she is sending her on a six week cruise to recover and to give her and Alan some space. On the way out, Tracy tells Lucy to enjoy her nice -- long -- cruise. After Tracy and Lila leave, Lucy seethes. They are not going to get rid of her that easy! She grabs a note pad and starts writing Scott a letter.

At Scott' s place, Colton is there about his quandary involving Body Heat. Flowers are delivered with a card from Lucy. She is so sorry and wants to see him right away. Scott is bitter. Fat chance! He starts griping to Colton about what nut case his cousin is. Poor Colton only wants to talk about his club, so he advises Scott to go see Lucy. Scott is livid. He wouldn' t go to GH if they rolled out a red carpet from there to here! After Colton leaves, Scott reads Lucy' s letter again and changes his mind. He' ll give her two minutes!

At GH, Alan chats with Tony, wondering if he caused Lucy' s miscarriage because of the fight they had. At the same time, Scott arrives to see Lucy. He rants and raves before she can get a word out. He' s not going to fall her crap ever again! And he' s never going to forget the nasty things she said to him last time! Lucy gets weepy and tells him she doesn' t blame him for the miscarriage. It was Alan' s fault. He got violent after Scott left the mansion that day, and HE caused her to lose the baby! Lucy admits she only married Alan for his money. She thinks they can use this situation to make him pay. Scott can' t believe it. He KNEW she was cooking up some cockamamie scheme! Lucy thinks it' s failsafe. Scott doesn' t want to hear it . . . did she say failsafe? Later, Lucy has officer Remy in her room, and is detailing how Alan threatened her and caused her lose her child. He has a short temper and goes off like a lit fuse! After Remy leaves, Lucy smiles. Alan is going to pay for what he' s done to them! Later, Alan comes to see Lucy. He apologizes for not coming sooner. He was upset about what Scott said at the house. In light of what' s happened, he wants to put his anger aside, and he' s sorry for any pain he' s caused. Lucy nods. He did let his temper get the best of him, didn' t he? She lowers the boom on him and tells him she' s bringing up on criminal abuse charges, and then suing him for every dime he has!

Lila arrives at GH as Lucy is wheeled out of the hospital. Lila tells the doctor she will make sure Lucy has nothing but smooth sailing ahead of her. She has made all the arrangements for Lucy to be gone for six weeks. She did it for Alan, not for Lucy, so don' t "Mother Quartermaine" her again!

Alan and Monica eat lunch as Alan gets delivered a letter. Lucy is slapping him with assault charges! That witch! He could kill her! Monica makes Alan keep his cool. He' ll get through this.

At GH, Monica finds Alan. He hasn' t confronted Lucy has he? Alan sighs. He just got there. Lucy' s gone anyway. Monica thinks that was smart of her. She got out before the fireworks started. Dawn walks up to them to tell them that Decker is buying Body Heat. As Alan heads for the elevator, he runs into Bobbie. She tells him she' s sorry about the baby. Alan grumbles that he married the wrong woman and he wished they were all as honest as Bobbie. Later, Alan and Monica run into Lila at the hospital and learn that Lila has sent Lucy on a cruise for six weeks. Alan thinks six weeks of peace might be nice.

Scott finds Lucy to the airport. Why is she running off just as they are working out their problems? Lucy wants him to work out the settlement with Alan while she is gone.

Ned comes to see Monica at GH. ELQ is going down the tubes. They are in trouble. The recession has really hurt them. Monica asks Ned if he has talked to Tracy or Alan about it. Ned says it is like talking to a brick wall. He wants Monica to try to talk to Tracy as she has been on a spending spree. Later, Monica talks to Alan about the money situation at ELQ. Alan doesn' t seem too concerned, which makes Monica angry. He' s being selfish. If he doesn' t take an interest in ELQ than he won' t have anything for Lucy to sue him for! Later, Cheryl comes in for her check up. Monica asks her about the financial report Ned dropped off for ELQ. Cheryl tells her to listen to Ned. They have had three quarters of bad earnings and the cannery is draining money from ELQ. They need to trim the fat and tighten belts, including reducing the workforce. Cheryl tells her the only stockholders are the family members, so the family has to start cutting back.

Monica comes home to find Tracy meeting with a man who has convinced her to invest a million dollars in an oil deal. Monica realizes that he is a con artist and orders Jennings to throw him out. Then she yells at Tracy. How could she be swindled like that? Later, Monica bumps into Larry who' s sporting a new smoking jacket that he has specially made. Monica looks over the bills that are being racked up. Lila suggests a family meeting. Monica thinks that' s a great idea. Everyone meets in the gatehouse. Monica drops a bombshell on them. She is banishing Tracy and Ashton to the gatehouse to live with Ned. Tracy flips. What!! Everybody starts arguing. Monica tells them to shut up or they are all evicted! There will be no frills anymore! Not only do they all have to cut back, she wants them all to contribute to the running of the estate monthly. Tracy quips that they should have a telethon. Ashton wants to know why they should live like regular people when they have money. Everyone (except Ned) thinks Monica is overdoing it. The free lunch is over! From now on they start paying their way!

At GH, Dawn yells at Meg for ruining her night with Decker. She' s putting her on notice. She' s kicked out of the condo! Monica walks up as they are yelling at each other. Later, Alan asks Cheryl if the situation at ELQ is as serious as Ned claims. Cheryl nods. Sadly, it is. Scott walks up as Cheryl leaves. Scott razzes Alan about the court case against him. Monica walks up, and Scott rubs her nose in it too. She' s going to be called as a witness for the prosecution. Who knows Alan' s temper better than her! He saunters away, leaving Alan in a foul mood. She starts telling him about Dawn' s situation with Meg. Alan snaps at Monica. She' s good at solving everyone else' s problems, why doesn' t she solve theirs too. He walks away.

Alan meets with his lawyer and Scott. Scott wants a settlement on Lucy' s behalf otherwise they are going to court. Alan refuses. He' s going to fight to the bitter end. His own lawyer warns him that litigation will be expensive. Alan doesn' t care. Lucy is not going to get one penny out of him!

Monica shows up at Body Heat for an exercise class that Dawn is teaching and runs into Anna and Felicia. Anna is unhappy to learn that Decker and Edge are partners at the gym. She warns Monica and Felicia that Edge is a con man.

Monica walks up to Alan at GH while he is on the phone chewing Scott out about the law suit. After hanging up, he tells her how sorry he is and how much he regrets losing her. He never loved Lucy. Later, Scott shows up to talk settlement. Alan asks him how long he was carrying on with Lucy behind his back. Scott says about 6-7 months. He admits that he made the first move, not Lucy, and is flip with him. Alan wants answers. Was Lucy' s child really his? Scott admits it. Yes! Is he a glutton, or what? Alan seethes. He' s not going to give them one red cent! He doesn' t care if he' s in court all year! Scott admits he' s in love with Lucy. Alan laughs himself silly. A few days ago he wanted to strangle Scott. Now he feels like they should go out and get drunk together.

At the mansion, Monica runs into Dawn as she' s leaving the house to have dinner with Decker and his family. Monica tells Dawn about her conversation with Anna. Decker has gotten involved with Edge, who is a shady character. Edge might be getting Decker into trouble. Dawn thinks that Decker is too smart to be duped. Monica needs to trust on her on this! Everything is okay. She leaves.

Monica runs into Anna at GH and wonders what she has found out about Decker and Body Heat. Anna tells her that Edge put up the money. Monica is worried to hear that. Where did Edge get that kind of money? She' s worried about Dawn. Anna assures her not to worry. Decker is not such a bad guy. They will just keep an eye on Edge. Later, Monica runs into Dawn and fills her in on Edge' s involvement with Body Heat. She wants Dawn to stay out of that part of the business. Dawn thinks Decker is completely honest with her and is too in love with him to see that he could be a threat. Monica calls Decker to come and see her. When he arrives, she tells him she' s worried about Dawn getting hurt because if this shady deal with Edge. Can Decker really trust Edge? Decker assures her Edge is straight. He tells her not to worry. Monica puts him on warning. She won' t stand back and watch passively while Dawn gets hurt. She will fight for her daughter!

The Gatehouse is decked out for Tracy' s Valentine' s Day party. Alan arrives and chews Tracy out. How dare she spend money like this?! Tracy pouts and picks up the phone to cancel the party, but Alan caves in and tells her to forget it. He knows she meant well. Tracy then hits him up for some extra cash to pay the caterers. Ned comes in and tells them there is a problem with the ship. It' s taking on water, but everything will be okay as long as it docks in time. No worries. Later, Monica arrives as Tracy is complaining to officer Remy about protesters at her front gate. Ned comes and tells them that protesters are blocking the harbor. Their ship is in real trouble! Alan comes over and wants to know what they are huddling about. Are they going to tell him what' s wrong or does he have to find out his own way? Soon it all comes out: they are worried about ELQ ship, which is in trouble, and if the ship sinks, ELQ is finished. Later, news reaches the party that the ship has hit the dock and exploded. Alan and Monica get called to GH to help with the wounded. At GH, Alan tells Monica how guilty he feels because an ELQ ship caused all this trouble, and he could have prevented the tragedy by continuing to run the company. Of course, Monica tells him he' s being ridiculous.

All of the Quartermaines arrive at the gatehouse because Tracy has called a meeting. She wants them to stop all of the backbiting and make a firm stand to save the company. They are Quartermaines. It' s time they start acting like it. When Ned shows up, he tells them all that the ship appears to have been sabotaged, and that he did not have any insurance on the ship. He offers to resign, but with Tracy as the only other option to run the company, they opt to keep Ned, but warn him that they will be watching him like a hawk.

Dawn and Decker are attacked at Body Heat and tied up in a back room by Edge' s associates. Left alone, Dawn realizes Decker has been lying to her. He promised they were one hundred percent legit. Later, Edge is thrown in with them. Helmet' s men set the place and fire and leave the three of them die. Edge manages to get free, but he and Decker fight, and Edge hits both Decker and Dawn with a lead pipe, then puts the pipe in Decker' s hand and flees.

Dawn and Decker are brought to the ER, both with head trauma. Alan comforts Monica while she waits for Dawn to come out of surgery. Later, they get word that Dawn has died. Monica goes after Decker in a rage and has to be held back.

At Dawn' s funeral, Monica is in tears. Everyone is floored when Decker shows up. Ned jumps up and pins him to wall, calling him a murderer. At the reception, Jenny shows up wearing a bright red dress, thinking that the gathering is a luxurious party. She gets in Ned' s face about the layoffs at the cannery. Monica leaves the party early. Alan comforts her up in their old room. Monica cries on his shoulder. She can' t stand to hear one more person talk about how beautiful Dawn was, or how much they' re going to miss her.

At ELQ, the Quartermaines gather for a meeting and decide to boot Ned out based on the bad business decisions he has made.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica put their heads together to try to figure out how to save ELQ. Lila calls Sean to bounce ideas off him as to what to do next. Alan is suspicious of Sean' s intentions at first, but agrees to put their personal differences aside. Sean recommends Paul Hornsby as their finical advisor. Later, Alan & Monica have a private moment together and share a tender kiss. That is when Lucy walks in! What the hell is she you doing in HER house with HER husband? Lucy insists that she and Alan are staying together and refuses to leave. Alan is through with her and tells her to get out or else. Monica calls a cab. Lucy warns Jennings he' s dead if he moves her bags. In order to stall, Lucy insists on speaking to Lila, and refuses to leave until she does!

Back to Top

Lucy comes home - and won't leave!, Divorce pre-hearing, Lucy tries to blackmail Alan, Lucy gets a settlement, Trouble with AJ, AJ returns home, The truth about Edward's death comes to light.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica are trying to kick Lucy out. She won' t leave. Lila comes in and Lucy asks to speak with her alone. She believes that she and Alan are meant to be together and they can get through what happened even though he did cause her miscarriage. Lila tells her to Scott for advice, so Lucy does. What can she do to keep Monica from kicking her out of the house? Scott advises her to stay in the house at all costs, or else she will never get back in. Lucy takes his advice literally, and locks herself in the bedroom! Alan pounds on the door, but she barricades it from the other side and won' t come out.

Jennings opens the door to Harlan Barrett and shows him into the den while Lucy screams from the second floor. She wants some food now! Later, Tracy and Ned arrive and hear all the commotion. Ned and Tracy to come home to meet Mr. Barrett. They hear Lucy yelling upstairs. Tracy nominates herself to shut her up. She goes to Lucy' s room (pushing her way through a barricade of furniture and luggage pushed up to the door!) and soft soaps her, convincing her that what she really needs to do is to drag Alan into a huge legal battle to distract him from ELQ business. Uncharacteristically nice, she even offers to peel a grape for her! When Tracy returns downstairs, she yells at Ned for talking to Barrett without her! Alan and Monica storm in, furious about the same thing. He can' t strike a deal without them! Meanwhile, Jenny and her Greenbelt group march into the foyer with protest signs. PCBs KILL . . . PCBs KILL!!

Lucy wakes up in bed freezing. The Qs turned off her heat and the phone in her room! Larry Ashton comes to her door and plops down in a chair with his flask. He tells her the Qs finances are a nightmare and that they hired a young hot shot to straighten out the mess. Lucy asks Ashton to call Scott and have him to come to the Q mansion to see her. She also wants breakfast. She' s starving! When Scott arrives, Lucy turns on the charm. Didn' t he miss her? She missed him. Scott stops her in her tracks. He' s not going to fall for this crap again. He advises her to file for divorce. The Q' s are in financial trouble, so Alan' s going to do all he can to avoid a messy divorce. Lucy starts sucking up to him, but Scott warns he' s going to want a cut of the pie. Lucy throws him out.

Sean arrives at the mansion with Paul Hornsby and introduces him to the family. Tracy is the only one who doesn' t offer her hand. They all start talking over each other before Paul can get a word in. Paul just smiles and waits for them to finish. Before telling them how he will help them, Paul lays out his terms regarding his salary, stock package, etc. He assures them he can restructure the company and get them out of this financial mess. They welcome him aboard -- all except Ned and Tracy.

At ELQ, Tracy has called a family meeting. Alan grumbles about being pulled out of the hospital for this. Tracy enlightens them: Paul doesn' t have a stake in the actual outcome if ELQ falls. He can pack up and move on. She wants to nominate herself and Ned to report back to the family on Paul' s progress and to keep tabs on what he is doing. Lila puts it to a vote and it passes unanimously.

In the den, Paul has a meeting with the family. He tells them they have to liquidate some assets and cut back. Paul pushes to sell the cannery, but none of them want to part with it. It' s been the cornerstone of the empire. They agree to sell the packaging plant but keep the cannery. Lila refuses to sell the undeveloped land on the waterfront, as it was the first property Edward bought. She is planning on making a memorial park on that land and demands that the rest of them back her up on it. They all reluctantly agree.

Alan finds Larry at the Gatehouse packing up his things. He' s leaving for the Grand Cayman for a spot of polo. Alan wants his help. Will he talk to Lucy? Lucy has always been very fond of him. She' ll listen to him. Later, Larry arrives at Lucy' s room (she has to move the barricade for him to enter!). Ashton tells Lucy he is leaving and advises her to use her feminine charms to attract Paul Hornsby. He is the new golden boy! Perhaps she might show up at the fancy dinner they are having to welcome Paul to ELQ. Downstairs, Lucy flirts with Paul. Alan has eviction papers served to her. Lucy seethes. He is not going to get away with this! She' s not leaving without a fight! After she storms out, Alan raises his glass. To Larry Ashton!

Paul comes to GH to see Alan and Monica about the PCBs in the ELQ ship. He wants the Q' s to put profits aside until the toxic spill is cleaned up. Lucy arrives at GH and demands to speak to Alan. She' s rude to Meg, and says she' ll wait in the lounge. While waiting, she swipes a sandwich off the nurse' s desk and hides it under her coat. Later, Lucy finds Alan, who' s having a fit over the mock-up newspaper headline she has left for him. She' ll do much worse than that if he doesn' t make sure she is able to live in the life style she' s become accustomed to. She starts with her hotel bill. They want it paid every day, so he' d better come up with it. Ta! Later, Alan gripes to Monica about Lucy. If he gives her what she wants, they wont be on the bottom, they will be beneath the bottom! Monica tells him to pay or fight. Its up to him.

Alan arrives at Lucy' s hotel room. Shut up and start packing! He starts tearing her clothes out of the closet. She' s going to get a single room, and a meal allowance. He wants a daily account of her expenses, including receipts. Lucy tries to shove the newspaper headline in his face again. Alan calls her bluff. If she slanders ELQ, she REALLY wont get any money. She can' t get what he doesn' t have. Good day.

Paul finds Alan & Monica at GH to ask them to come to the ELQ board meeting. The Q' s need to decide whether they are going to sell the cannery or some stock. Later, Alan and Monica meet up in the lounge and talk about Paul and how glad they are they hired him to run the family business. Alan asks Monica if he should serve Lucy with divorce papers. Monica doesn' t want to be involved. It is his decision to make.

The Qs meet at ELQ regarding the sale of the cannery. They are all peeved to learn that Ned has been coloring the books to hide their precarious financial condition. They reluctantly agree to sell the cannery.

At ELQ, The family meet for their board meeting. They decide NOT to sell the Cannery to Harlan. Paul is disappointed with their decision. They' re only other option is to sell their stock.

At the mansion, Tracy enters the den and everyone jumps on her about her dinner with Harlan. What happened? Tracy grumbles that it was a nightmare. She got nowhere with him. Paul arrives and brings up selling the cannery again. Either that or their personal stock in the company. Everyone starts yelling at each other. Paul leaves so they can fight it out. Later, they get a call that the cannery is on fire!

Tracy, Ned, Alan and Monica all return home after being out all night with the Cannery fire. They tell Lila that it isn' t a total loss, but they have extensive damage. Everyone flips when Ned tells them he cancelled the insurance to save money. Paul waltzes in and assures them not to worry. He reinstated the policy as soon as he took over. They are fully insured! Ned seethes. Chief Lewis arrives and tells them it was arson. He wonders if any of them might have set the fire to get the insurance money. Alan lays him out for that. How dare he accuse the Q' s of burning down their own cannary?! Later, Alan asks Tracy if she burned down the cannery. Did she do it to collect the insurance money? Angry, Tracy physically attacks Alan. She' s going to kill him! Ned walks in and tells them there is a problem raising the Tracy. It' s leaning too much to one side. Alan looks at Tracy. Just like it' s namesake!

At GH, Alan asks Paul to represent him in his divorce hearing. Paul agrees because of the potential ramifications on ELQ. Later, Monica returns to GH. Alan fills her in on having Paul represent him.

Scott and Paul meet in Paul' s office. Scott wants to come up with a settlement out of court for Lucy and Alan' s divorce. Paul stands his ground. Lucy will get zilch from Alan. Not only that, she could get brought up on charges of fraud. Scott tells him she lost a child and she deserves a cash settlement. Paul sends him out of his office. He' ll see him in court! The pre-trial hearing gets underway. Alan accuses Scott of sleeping with Lucy from the beginning. Paul gets Lucy on the stand. How long did it take her to get over her miscarriage? Lucy turns on the waterworks and makes Alan look bad. Both parties start snickering with each other while they wait for the judge to come back. Alan congratulates Lucy on her performance. Lucy tells Alan she' s going to take him for every cent he is worth. The judge comes in and rules that Alan has to pay Lucy only $500 a month until the final divorce hearing. Lucy is furious. Scott says he is appealing. Out in the hall, Lucy shows Alan a memoir book she wrote on his cruise that spills a bunch of phony details of their marriage together. Alan says she is bluffing.

Alan and Monica have dinner together at the PC Grill. He tells her about Lucy' s blackmail attempt. Lucy and Scott walk in. Alan sighs. Scott and Lucy sit in the corner and Lucy glares at Alan while thumbing through the pages of her memoir. Alan and Monica leave. Afterwards, Lucy reveals to Scott that she' s totally bluffing with her book. There is no book.

At ELQ, the family shows up at Paul' s office because Ned has called a board meeting. When Paul arrives, Ned calls Paul out for his meeting with Jenny the other day. Ned proudly tells everyone that he spied on Paul having drinks with Jenny "Greenbelt" Eckert, and even offered her a seat on the board! Paul turns the tables to make Ned look like a fool. He did it for ELQ' s benefit! It' s good for the company' s image for him to be seen with Jenny because of her ties to environmental causes. The Quartermaines all agree with him. Ned seethes.

Scott and Lucy arrive at Paul' s office to meet Paul and Alan. Scott asks for fifty percent of Alan' s ELQ stock. Paul talks him down to twenty five. It' s a deal! Lucy is happy with that. After Alan and Scott leave, Scott reminds Lucy he gets a third of her stock. They are stock holders! Alan goes back to GH and tells Monica it' s over with Lucy. He tells her he has paid for his mistake ten times over and wonders if he and Monica could be good together again. Monica laughs. He needs to slow down. They had their own problems, doesn' t he remember?

Alan and Monica work in the ER, which is in triage mode (an Earthquake has hit Port Charles. The Quartermaines did not have any scenes during the disaster). Later, Monica watches while Alan lovingly checks out a little girl and gives her a lollypop.

Ned and Tracy come back to the Q mansion and find it in shambles. (I included this scene because there was such little Quartermaine involvement in the wake of the earthquake). Tracy looks on the bright side. At least this is one disaster the family can' t blame on him! Lucy arrives to look for some earrings she left there. She' s glad she doesn' t live in there anymore -- the place is a dump! As she goes up the stairs, Tracy hollers after her. She' ll never change! Later, Alan and Monica return to the mansion, which is lit by candlelight. Jennings reports to them that Lila has already talked to a contractor to begin repair work. After Jennings leaves, Alan reflects on how a disaster like this brings people together.

At GH, Alan asks Meg if he has any messages and runs into Monica. They both find out they have nobody on their schedules and can go home early. Alan asks Monica out for dinner. She says she will go if he changes rooms with her in the servant' s quarters. At Kelly' s, Alan tells Monica that Paul needs an answer very soon about letting ELQ' s stock go public. They need to come up with an answer.

At GH, Lila is brought in under protest for her regular exam. Paul shows up and tells the Q' s to be present for the board meeting. They are going to renegotiate the sale of the cannery. At the board meeting, Alan is disgusted to see Lucy there. She owns stock now, remember? Harlan lowers his price to buy the cannery due to the fire and the earthquake. Everyone agrees to Harlan' s offer except for Lila. Alan and Monica try to change her mind. The motion goes through since the majority agrees. Harlan gets the cannery. Lila is upset. They have all sold their birthrights! Paul doesn' t quit there. They still need to make their stock public.

At GH, Alan and Monica are upset about having to sell their stock. Alan thinks they have to draw the line somewhere. Monica sighs. Maybe they can buy the stock back later when things are better. At the board meeting, Alan lets Paul have it for advising them to sell their stock after they have already sold the cannery. Alan, Ned and Lila refuse to sell, but Paul persuades Alan to change his mind. They have the sell the stock. Ned starts yelling at Alan, and pretty soon they are all fighting. Alan looses his cool. Why don' t they all just shut-up!!

Alan and Monica are at the hospital. He tells her he got a letter from AJ. Monica has gotten one too. They see the headline about Robert and discuss the manhunt going on to find him. At home, the Qs are in the den signing the papers for the cannery sale. Lila is very upset over it. Alan and Monica discuss AJ. Paul is handling sending him money, etc. for school, but Monica says AJ has asked her for more money and she is concerned. Lila tells them she has been sending AJ money all along. Uh-oh. Tracy gloats. Don' t tell her they are having trouble with their "perfect specimen" son. Later, Alan is waiting on Monica, who is talking to AJ on the phone. Monica comes in and tells Alan that AJ seems fine and happy. She didn' t ask him about the money, because she was hoping he would tell her. Monica thinks something is wrong but he doesn' t want to talk about it. She thinks they need to go up and visit AJ before graduation. Later, Monica asks Lila if she thinks AJ is in trouble. They decide to stop by ELQ after lunch. Lila thinks maybe Paul could be of help. She trusts him with her life!

Monica and Alan walk into Paul' s office. They are there to talk to him about AJ. Paul needs to leave, but they insist he listen to them. They want him to fly down to AJ' s school to see what trouble he' s into, but Paul refuses. He says he is too busy. Later at GH, Alan tells Monica he can' t stop thinking about AJ. Alan got someone to cover for him, so he can fly down and see what is going on with AJ. Back at ELQ, Alan and Lila are meeting with Paul. Alan asks him to join him to go visit AJ. Paul says he has business with Lila. Tracy and Ned walk in. Alan convinces Paul to go with him to talk to the Dean about the Quartermaine scholarship. Paul tries to get out of it but reluctantly agrees.

Back at GH, Bobbie and Monica talk. Monica tells her she is worried about AJ. Bobbie thinks he is probably going through wild stage now like they all did at one time. Later, Monica gets a call from Alan. He tells her all is well with AJ and that he was just being extra generous with gifts for teachers and his buddies. They have nothing to worry about. Monica is relieved.

Alan and Monica go to see Paul to discuss their concern over AJ, and the trouble he may be getting into at school. Both Alan and Paul try to assure her that there is nothing wrong, but Monica thinks AJ has pulled the wool over their eyes. Later, they meet with Paul at the PC hotel with Lila and make plans to go to AJ' s graduation.

At home, Tracy gives Alan and Monica a gift for AJ' s graduation (much to their surprise) and asks if they know anything about Harlan renting space in the ELQ building. She doesn' t trust Harlan! Later, Alan tells Monica he' s not so sure they should leave town now with the stock going public. Monica thinks they are being ridiculous. She' s not going to miss her son' s graduation! She' s waiting in the car and will leave without him! Alan realizes she' s right and tells Lila he' s going.

Alan and Monica chat with Lila in the den about AJ coming home for the summer. Lila is looking forward to having a young person in the house again. Tracy and Ned walk in. They have all been called to a meeting by Sean Donnelly. When Sean arrives, he tells them all that Paul is responsible for the ELQ sabotage. None of them can believe it (except Ned). Sean doesn' t have any proof yet, but he' s deeply sorry for getting them all involved in this. The Q' s want proof. Ned is the only one ready to swallow this whole. Sean promises he' ll get proof and warns them to limit their dealings with him. Later, Alan finds Monica in the den writing a letter to AJ. They discuss Sean' s accusations about Paul. Alan thinks Sean is full of it. The Qs controlled all of the voting. They weren' t born yesterday. Monica is willing to see Sean' s proof. Alan mentions to Monica that maybe AJ coming home will fill the gap in her life that Dawn left behind. Monica doesn' t think anything can ever fill the void Dawn left behind.

At GH, Alan gets off the phone and tells Monica that Harlan Barrett has bought up all the Quartermaine stock. He has betrayed them! Monica calls Tracy at home to tell her about it. Tracy already knows. They are going to have to get even with him. Monica suggests that they call Lucy as part of their team. Later, the three of them meet at the mansion. An unlikely threesome indeed! Lucy is full of quips for both of them, but Tracy and Monica tell her that they need to stick together or they will lose their income from ELQ. Lucy' s ears go up at the mention of money. What do they want her to do? She calls Harlan and invites him over for cocktails at the mansion. A celebration to the success of ELQ! When he arrives, they slip him a mickey, then drag him up the stairs to the attic. Meanwhile Alan walks in and wonders where everybody is.

The next morning, Monica calls Tracy from GH. She wishes she could have seen the look on Harlan' s face when he woke up this morning! Meanwhile, Tracy and Lucy visit their little prisoner in the attic. Harlan is wrapped up like a mummy, unable to move. The ladies don aprons and start slathering him with goop. Later, Harlan is trapped inside a plaster cast. Monica comes up to crack him out of it. She tells him there is a cab downstairs. He' d better hurry . . . The meter is running. Later, all of the Qs are in the living room when Harlan comes down in his boxers and undershirt looking for his clothes. Jennings tells him they' ve been given to the Goodwill. Harlan nods and walks out as Tracy and Monica stifle their laughter.

At GH, Monica comes to see Alan in his office. He' s not happy, and shows her a letter from AJ' s school. He was found guilty of plagiarizing a school paper. Alan has already talked to the head master at the school and confirmed that it' s true. Now they know why AJ needed all that money! He was cheating! Alan calls the school and finds out that AJ is AWOL. None of his roommates know where he is. Monica worries that something bad might have happened. Alan thinks he' s just goofing off. They commiserate about all the mistakes they' ve made in bringing him up. Things need to change.

At GH, Alan takes a disturbing call about AJ. After hanging up, he tells Monica AJ has been arrested for reckless driving. Monica can' t believe this. What is going on with their son! Later, Monica meets up with Alan after having spoken to AJ on the phone. He has soft soaped her about the reckless driving charge, claiming it was not as big of a deal as the cops made it out to be. He is going to be home next week. They are planning to ream him good when he arrives. Later, Meg ups to Monica and they have a good chat about Dawn and how much they miss her.

Monica and Lila sort through mail and find an invitation to Robert and Anna' s wedding. Lila feels bad about the location of the wedding and suggests offering the use of the Quartermaine Shakespearian Gardens. Monica finds Robert and Anna at the PC Hotel to tell them about Lila' s offer, and they accept. Later, Tracy is less than thrilled when she finds out about the blessed event.

Monica, Tracy and Lila attend Robert & Anna' s wedding shower. Everyone gets ready to shout "surprise!" when they hear the guests of honor approaching, but when the door opens, it turns out to be Lucy.

AJ arrives at GH and immediately starts hitting on a nurse named Sheila. Alan and Monica take him to lunch, but get called back to the hospital. AJ offers to accompany them, but only to resume hitting on nurses.

At the mansion, Alan tries to talk to AJ, who' s full of excuses about his behavior. AJ claims he was not the one who plagiarized the paper. He was helping a friend with a paper, who in turn repaid him by helping him with his paper. That was all it was. As for the reckless driving, he was just blowing off some steam. It was wrong and he won' t do it again. Later, AJ admits to Monica that he was trying to kill himself when he was racing the car. Monica freaks out, but he tells her he will never do it again. He was just depressed. He hugs her. He' s just so glad to be home! Later, Alan and Monica compare notes.

Everyone is preparing for Robert & Anna' s wedding. The Quartermaines meet up in the gardens. They all find it odd that Tracy has invited Paul to be her escort. Later, when the wedding is about to begin, Dominique freaks out at the sight of the bells and grabs a security guards gun and brandishes it. Tracy watches from afar with the rest of the Q clan. She knew something like this was going to happen! Lila says she' s having a thrilling time. Later, when Anna throws the bouquet, Lucy catches it. Tracy fights her for it!

Scott and Lucy arrive at the ELQ board meeting. Bill and Julia arrive late and let it be known that they are peeved for not being informed of the meeting. They are sure it won' t happen again, and point out that they own 36% of the company. The Q' s are not pleased. Bill reads the bylaws and tells the Qs they can' t make a move without his and Julia' s approval. So don' t even think about it. Later, Alan and Monica return to the mansion and talk about the board meeting. Alan gets close and tells Monica he wants to unite emotionally as well as finically. He kisses her.

At the mansion, everyone gathers because Tracy has called a meeting. Tracy tells them about the letter she found taped to the back of a painting in the mansion from Edward to "RS". Everyone tries to figure out who RS is. Lila clears the room and asks Edward. He says Robert Scorpio. Lila wonders why he never told her about he letter. Edward replies: she never asked him! Once the family returns, Lila decides the only person to open that letter will be Robert and she will hold it until Robert returns.

Robert arrives at the mansion. The Q' s are gathered to hand him the letter, very eager to know what is inside. Robert glances over the letter and promises to read it over later and let them know what it says. They ask him to end the suspense and tell them now, but Robert slips away as they begin shouting at each other. Later, they all gather at Robert' s office and he reads the letter Edward wrote two years earlier as an insurance policy. He felt that his life was in danger from an international cartel that he refused to be a part of. The Q' s are very distraught to learn that Edward may have been murdered.

Monica comes to see Alan in his office. He cant believe his father was murdered. He' s wondering if there is conspiracy going on to tank ELQ, due to all of the misfortunes they have had since the Tracy sank. Alan wants to hire private investigators to go after them. Monica thinks they should let the police handle it. Later, they run into Robert and question him, but he doesn' t have anything more on Edward' s murder yet.

At home, Qs are having breakfast. Tracy sees an announcement in the paper that Larry Ashton has become a "Lord", titled to him by the Queen. Everyone gets a good chuckle out of it and speculate why Larry should be promoted by the Queen. Tracy grumbles, maybe he' s blackmailing her! Later, Robert arrives and asks for Lila. They all sit down, and Robert gently tells her that Edward was very likely murdered because of his refusal to join the cartel. He also shows her a picture of Toub and Faison. Has she ever seen Edward with these men? Lila knows Faison as PK Sincliar, the novelist who used to live out at Spoon Island. Other than that, she' s never seen them. Later, Alan and Tracy talk about Edward. Tracy wants to do something to help the investigation. Alan urges her to let Robert handle it.

Back to Top

"I want you to marry me!", Police station wedding, AJ in trouble with Nancy Eckert/Framing Simpson at GH, Tracy's wedding, Edward's alive!, Big ELQ board meeting.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica read yet another of AJ' s poor progress reports from PCU. They confront him with it, but AJ blames it on the stress he feels over their separation. Maybe his grades would be better if they got back together like normal parents! After that pathetic performance, Alan and Monica start to discuss all the past affairs they' ve had and get into a fight. Alan brings up Rick Webber. How about that in her face?!! Monica yells back. How about this in HIS face!, and slaps him. As she marches out of the mansion, Alan yells that they still fight better than anybody. Later, Alan shows up at the PC grill where Monica is having lunch and walks up to her table wearing a large bandage on his face. She broke his jaw. Monica pulls the bandage off. Alan kneels down and starts reminding her how great they were. They were on fire! Surely there have to be a few embers left burning in the ashes. Monica sighs. They' ve all been tromped upon. Alan replies cooly. How about letting him fan her coals? Monica laughs. Will he get up off the floor! She has a meeting with another doctor. Alan tells her he cancelled her luncheon. Monica gets upset. She' s leaving! Alan makes a public declaration. He wants her to marry him! Monica walks out, and Alan bows to his audience (everyone in the restaurant who' s been staring at them!) Later, they meet up back at the house. Alan tells her that he doesn' t want to marry her just because of AJ, he truly loves her. Monica says she needs a CAT scan. Her answer is yes. Lila hears them talking and wheels herself in. Oh, it' s happy day for the Quartermaines!

Tracy walks in on Alan and Monica smooching in the living room. They have some news! They happily tell her that they are getting remarried. Tracy gags when Alan says love is lovelier the second time around. As she swaggers out, Tracy says she may be taking a trip down the aisle herself. Later at GH, Alan and Monica get into an argument over a patient' s treatment. Monica calls Alan a judgmental, pigheaded oaf. She wouldn' t marry him on a bet! Alan fires back that he wouldn' t marry her on a dare! Back at home, Ned and Tracy are having a drink to celebrate Alan and Monica' s marriage. AJ walks in, pumping a fist over his parents' reunion. Alan and Monica storm in angry and tell them the marriage is off. AJ is crushed. What? Tracy gloats. She knew it wouldn' t last! While beating Tracy down, Alan and Monica end up defending each other, and realize that fighting is what the Quartermaines are all about. They apologize to each other and end in a kiss. The wedding is back on! Tracy smirks. They' re gluttons for punishment. They tell Tracy she needs a man in her life to soften her edges.

At GH, Alan has a rough time with the blood test. He hates needles! Monica molly-coddles him. They returns to Alan' s office and talk about how happy they are. They are planning to have a civil ceremony. Monica gives Alan a pre-nuptial agreement. Alan gets offended. Is she serious? Monica says it is for both of their protection. Alan changes his tune and admits she' s right. He' s been talking to his lawyer, too, and presents her with his own pre-agreement. They then proceed to argue about how the property is divided. Alan tells her he loves her and they both end up tearing their agreements up. They want to get married right away! They decide to do it today, but only if it' s kept a secret. Later, Sheila overhears them talking and calls AJ to tell him the news. His parents are getting married today!

Alan is in his office cleaning up when Monica arrives in a tizzy. Where is Jennings?! She needs her dress! Alan is calm. Jennings arrives with Monica' s dress and they lamely claim they are going to an "event." Jennings nods.

Alan and Monica get dressed in Alan' s office. Monica is still fretting about every little detail. She freaks that Alan' s suit is brown and not gray (oh no!). Meanwhile, Jennings tells Lila that he thinks Alan and Monica are getting married today. He thinks they are going to elope. Lila won' t hear of it. No Quartermaine has ever eloped! Jennings offers to make a few calls and finds out where they are getting married. Alan and Monica arrive at the courthouse to a huge line. Apparently love is in the air! Lila shows up, along with AJ and Sheila. AJ cuts in line for them and they move to the front. Alan is upset to learn that he didn' t need to do the blood test. What?! A justice of the peace marries them and they kiss. Aw. Lila invites all the couples in line to come celebrate their wedding at the mansion. Monica panics. Later, Alan and Monica are having dinner at a restaurant, blowing off Lila' s party. They want a few minutes alone. Alan gets serious and admits to Monica that he has doubted her love for him ever since Rick Webber. Monica pats his hand. That' s all behind them now. She loves him. Alan is relieved. He thinks Edward is smiling down on them. They both think the ceremony was too short, so Alan puts the ring on her finger and they saw their vows.

At the mansion, Tracy is annoyed because can' t get a word in. She has an important announcement to make! Alan and Monica arrive home, followed by a pair in gorilla suits and everyone else who was at the license bureau with them. Tracy spits out her news. She' s getting married! Jaws hit the floor when she says Paul is her hubby to be. Shocked, Alan offers a toast. As the party gets underway, Alan and Monica cut out early to go "upstairs." Later, Lucy stops by the Q mansion to leave a gift for Alan and Monica who have gotten remarried. She hobnobs with Jennings, who won' t let her go into the party Meanwhile, Alan laughs at Monica as she fixes her hair in curlers. He welcomes her home and they have a romantic moment as they fall into bed.

Alan and Monica are reading the paper when Tracy walks in. Alan balks when she mentions that Paul is coming over. Can' t Tracy do her entertaining in the gatehouse? Not wanting to interrupt the love birds, they both take off to the hospital. Later, Tracy stops by the hospital to show off her ring to Alan and Monica. Monica gets digs at her for marrying such a younger man.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Tracy is busy putting the last minute details ready for her engagement party. Paul drops by with some papers for Alan to sign. When they are alone, Alan levels with Paul. He has no idea why Paul is marrying Tracy, but he had better not hurt her. Paul tells Alan to mind his own business.

At home, Alan and Monica are commiserating about not having been able to take a honeymoon. Alan grabs a paper and starts reading. Monica gets annoyed at him for not listening to her. Why does everyone think things are going to change when they get married! Alan takes her hand and pulls her towards the door. Come with him! They go to the Outback where Alan sings karaoke. Later, they return home and dance in the foyer. Alan is still singing. They go into the living room, where AJ is entertaining a young lady. The kids run off, and Alan and Monica get back to necking. Later, Tracy arrives and tattles on AJ to Alan and Monica (for trying to hook up with his date at the Gatehouse). Tracy stops Alan on his way out of the room and admits that Paul won' t sleep with her. He rushed her to agree to marry him, and now he wont touch her! What should she do?

At the mansion, AJ is telling Alan & Monica about his classes at PCU when Jennings walks in with a subpoena for the Eckert custody hearing. Alan & Monica flip. What? Why would he get a subpoena for the Eckert custody hearing? AJ plays dumb. He doesn' t know. He kind of met Eckert' s ex-wife once. Tracy tattles on him. She saw him with Nancy at the PC hotel bar. AJ tells them he has to get to school and runs off. Afterwards, Alan pounces on Tracy for not telling them about AJ sooner. Tracy fires back that AJ is NOT her son!

Alan and Monica arrive at the court house with AJ. He complains that they didn' t need to come. He can handle this himself. They insist on waiting for him to testify. They want him to have a lawyer. AJ thinks they are blowing it all out of proportion. Later, AJ comes out and tells them he has done his part. He can go. They want details!

At home, Alan lectures AJ about what it means to carry on the Q name, and how he has been involved in one scandal after another all year. Lila talks to Alan about AJ. Alan doesn' t know what to do with the boy. He wants to explain to him about his inheritance what a privilege it is. Lila has a good old adage for him. Inheritance is like sex; you should learn about it from your parents. Alan chuckles. She tells him to talk to AJ about responsibility. After Alan leaves, Lila talks to Edward' s picture saying she knows what she has to do now. Later, Alan & Monica have dinner with AJ to discuss the importance of the Quartermaine legacy. Their dinner is crashed by Ned. Alan and Monica return home and talk about how Ned and AJ were glaring at each other over dinner. Alan said it was like him and Tracy. They discuss Jason coming back home again for Christmas.

At the mansion, Tracy happily announces her wedding date to the family. Ned thinks it will be wonderful to have Paul as a member of the family. Why doesn' t she just adopt him? Tracy asks Monica if she can use the house for her wedding--and perhaps even live there afterwards? Monica tries to change the subject, but Tracy keeps pushing. Everyone leaves the room. Later, Lila tells Ned and Monica that she wants Tracy and Paul to live in the house. Monica cringes. It would be a disaster! The only reason they are getting along right now is because they hardly see each other! Lila won' t back down. Be generous, dear. Monica throws up her hands and walks away. Later, Alan returns home. Monica hits him with the wonderful news. The newly weds are moving in! Alan combusts. No way -- never!! Monica reminds him that it' s what Lila wants. She wares him down and he agrees. When Tracy returns home, they tell her the happy news. Tracy is thrilled. She hugs them both and promises they' ll never know she' s there. She wont instigate a single fight!

At the mansion, Lila wants to talk to Edward' s photo. She wants to know what to do about Tracy' s bridal shower. Nobody is giving her one! Edward says Tracy has no friends. Monica walks in and Lila asks her to throw a shower for Tracy. Monica smirks. Tracy has everything. Lila wants to invite all of Tracy' s friends. Monica thinks that' s the one thing Tracy doesn' t have. Edward laughs. Later, Nancy shows up at the Q mansion and barges her way in, telling Jennings to get AJ downstairs pronto. Behind closed doors, she reams him for ransacking her room. He was looking for the negative! AJ denies it and tells her to get out. Nancy wants money for the damages to her room. Alan walks in and Nancy introduces herself to him. Alan knows who she is and he wants her out of his house. He pulls her to the door. Along, AJ thanks Alan for throwing Nancy out. Alan lectures him and wants to know the deal between the two of them. He reminds AJ about his responsibility to the Q legacy.

At GH, Monica runs into Bobbie and asks her to co-host a bridal shower for Tracy. Bobbie says that Tracy has no friends. They can' t think of anyone to invite. Then Alan comes to tell Monica that he caught Nancy Eckert in the mansion talking to AJ. They worry that AJ may be having an affair with her. Later, Tracy calls Monica to ask her to her matron of honor,

At home, Alan and Monica talk about Tracy' s shower. They had to pay people to come! Tracy walks in and says she is leaving for Manhattan to buy a trousseau. Monica tries to talk her out of it, but they end up in a fight and Tracy storms out. Monica and Lila look at each other. Lila sighs. This certainly screws everything up. Thinking fast, Lila sends Monica off to get Alan to round Tracy up and bring her to the Brownstone. Monica finds Alan at GH and sends him to the airport to get Tracy. The plan works, and Tracy arrives at the Brownstone, surprised. She wants to skip the parlor games and get right to the presents! The last one is a book titled "May/December Romances." It' s' from Lila! Very funny, Mother.

At the mansion, Monica models a dress for Tracy' s wedding, but hates it. She looks like a TREE! Tracy thinks everyone is out to ruin this day for her. Her mood doesn' t improve when Alan offers to sing at the wedding. Later, Monica, Alan and Tracy go to the Outback. Alan keeps bringing up all the different songs he could sing at the wedding.

The day of the wedding, Tracy is a nervous wreck. Monica tries to reassure her that everything is under control, but then Alan reports that Paul is nowhere to be found. Thanks Alan. Jennings comes to Monica to tell her they are running out of Champaign. Monica asks Anna to have Mac deliver some. Paul finally arrives and the wedding goes on. Afterwards at the reception, Jenny catches the brides bouquet.

At GH, Alan and AJ arrive together. AJ talks to Alan about borrowing the car. By the elevators, Monica tells Bobbie she admires how supportive she has been of her cousin Bill. Bobbie thinks he' s innocent, and gets offended that they DON' T think he is. Bobbie finds Monica later to make peace. They shouldn' t discuss Bill.

Robert arrives at the Q mansion to tell AJ they discovered his prints at Nancy' s lighthouse, and that the doorman at the PC hotel testified that AJ bribed him to find out Nancy' s whereabouts the night of her murder. Alan and Monica are shocked. Ned walks in and has a laugh at AJ' s expense. What has JR gotten himself into now? Robert tells Ned it is official police business, Ned leaves, promising to bring AJ' s favorite magazines to the state pen. Alan and Monica are furious. They tell AJ to cooperate with Robert and to tell the truth. AJ agrees to talk and recounts his story of that night. He tells Robert that Nancy was dead when he arrived. And when he was leaving, he saw Bill Eckert arrive. Alan and Monica are disgusted. If he knew Bill was innocent, he should have come forward! Robert asks AJ to come down to the station for a polygraph. At the police station, Alan and Monica argue. AJ doesn' t deserve their support and they need to give him a swift kick in the butt! They blame each other for the way he' s turned out. AJ tells them to stop it. Robert returns and asks Alan and Monica to step out during the polygraph test.

Alan and Monica give AJ a good talking to about his behavior and his choices. He has to clean up his act! They order him to have dinner with them so they can talk. AJ gets lippy about it. He' s going out tonight! Alan hands him a list of conditions. He' s not going to get the car or the family credit cards. They want him to get a job and not be dependent on them for financial support. Ned steps in and gloats. They should give him a curfew!

AJ comes down to breakfast excited about having the day off from school. He thinks he' ll play tennis or something. Monica loses it. She' s had enough of AJ and his antics! Alan wants to know if it' s true that AJ had Shelia roughed up to provide his alibi. AJ denies it, but they don' t believe him. Monica lays down the law. He' s coming to GH with her. He needs something to fill his days and it' s called work!

Monica arrives at the hospital with AJ and asks Steve and Audrey give him a volunteer job. Back at home, Lila and Alan have a discussion about AJ. Alan is not sure they are handling him right. Lila soothes his worries. He' s taking all this far too seriously. Alan thinks he' s no better than his own father, whom he accused of neglecting him. Lila tells him to get on with his life and make the best of it.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica are on their way out to go to the ELQ board meeting. AJ arrives home and throws a bunch of attitude at them for making him work at GH. He whines that people are picking on him. Monica thinks he should be grateful he' s not in jail after what happened to Shelia.

At ELQ, the family is gathered, and the board meeting is about to commence. Scott and Lucy walk in. Ned greets them and says he has Alan, Lila and Monica on his side. He still needs to work on Julia. Everyone is seated, and Ned announces they have a quorum so they can start. He calls the meeting to order. They have been relying on Paul Hornsby to save their company. He starts talking about the sale of the canneries when Paul and Tracy burst in. Paul angrily squashes Ned' s claim that the canneries are losing money. After bickering, the voting commences. Bill and Julia vote with Paul and Tracy to keep the canneries. Ned is furious that he lost. Afterwards, the Quarreling Q' s gather at the Outback for dinner. Lila puts a stop to the sniping. She' s so happy Paul and Tracy are back!

Alan and Monica return home and demand to know why AJ is there. He says he' s doing his homework (lame). Office Remi arrives and gives AJ an invitation to the murder mystery party at the lighthouse. AJ says he' s not going, but Monica steps in. He IS going.

Alan and Monica go to Robert' s office to ask Robert why AJ is still a suspect. Robert says that AJ has information regarding the case. Alan tries to get AJ out of having to go to the lighthouse. Monica puts her foot down. AJ will be there!

At the mansion, Alan and Monica sit with Ned wondering what is happening with AJ at the lighthouse investigation. Ned is upset that Jenny is a suspect. Alan thinks they should have kept AJ from going. Monica is determined to let AJ handle it. AJ calls to tell them that he' s in the clear. Finnian is the killer. When AJ comes home, he brags about having solved the case single-handedly. Alan knocks him down a few pegs. He' s not off the hook by any means. He' s going to have to make amends to them and Lila for his behavior in this whole sordid mess!

Tracy arrives at GH to do some charity work for the hospital, which stuns Alan and Monica. They can' t believe their eyes. A moment later, Ned rushes in. Having heard that Tracy was at GH, he assumed she was sick or injured. Tracy is touched by his devotion. Ned is relieved, but points out that it does bring out an interesting point. If anything were to happen to her, what would become of her stock? Tracy is tired about talking about her stock. She pushes him onto an elevator and waves goodbye. After he leaves, Bigmouth Amy spills the beans about Ned' s marriage proposal to Jenny. Tracy can' t believe her ears. WHAT? She walks out on her charity work. Later, Steve reports to Alan and Monica that Tracy ran out on her volunteer work before she even began!

At GH, Monica and Alan find out from Amy that Dr. Simpson was suspended for stealing drugs. Later, Anna meets with Alan, Monica and Ned regarding Edward' s plane crash. She is reopening the investigation. There is a chance that the plane went down deliberately. She is going to meet with the other woman who survived. Later, Monica and Alan meet in the cafeteria. They can' t think about anything else. Ned shows up. He hasn' t heard anything yet, but is determined to make whoever is responsible pay!

At home, Alan and Monica rib Tracy about her plan to run ELQ side by side with Paul. What ever happened to that? Tracy asks Lila if she should turn over her voting shares to Paul. At GH, Alan and Monica discuss the situation with Dr. Simpson with Tom. They can' t believe he' s a druggie. Alan gets an anonymous call from a woman who claims AJ planted the drugs. Monica doesn' t believe it. The woman was obviously lying. Alan thinks it sounded like Shelia. And Shelia is no liar.

Alan and Monica discuss AJ at GH. They are hoping AJ will feel shame about what he did and admit it. Alan thinks Edward would turn over in his grave if he knew how AJ turned out.

Alan and Monica wait for AJ in the den and discuss how they are going to try to guilt AJ by bringing up Simpson and the drug set up. Alan can' t believe AJ would do something like this. When AJ arrives, they start going on and on about Simpson and what is shock it is that he would be doing drugs. Their plan doesn' t really work, as AJ grows tired of hearing about Simpson and heads to the kitchen to see how cook is coming with dinner. When he' s gone, Alan and Monica both agree that he' s guilty. Alan wishes Edward was around to handle his grandson. Later, Alan and AJ reminisce about Edward and fighting over the train set at Christmas. Alan always had such a hard time living up to what he should be in Edward' s eyes. He tells AJ he has a lot to live up to.

Monica and Bobbie are checking Paul when he comes to and starts mumbling something about "can' t kill Tracy" and "I love you Jenny." Later, Monica tells Tracy that Paul is stabilized. Tracy wants to see him, but Monica is hesitant (because she is afraid he will say something about Jenny). Tracy begs her and she allows it. As Tracy holds Paul' s hand and talks about how much they love each other, Monica and Bobbie give each other a look.

At the mansion, Lila is talking to Edward' s portrait when Edward walks in (the REAL Edward). Lila, have you gone balmy?

Alan and Monica return to the mansion. Everyone has been called by Lila. As the walk in, Monica tells Alan about Paul' s little blunder at GH the other day. He mumbled about Jenny as he was unconscious. They go into the living room, where Lila arrives, all smiles. Her dear Edward is alive!! Everyone thinks she has finally lost it. They are going to have to proceed slowly with this. Edward walks in. It' s really him! Turns out he stayed in hiding to protect them from the cartel that tried to murder him. The family is elated and welcomes him home. Monica accompanies Tracy to GH to pick up Paul from the hospital. She tells him the good news. Her daddy is alive and remembers everything! Paul flinches. Everything? Back at home, the Q' s are still reeling about Edward' s return. Monica pulls Alan aside to talk about the Jenny Eckert thing. Alan laughs about it. He thinks it' s wonderful. Edward asks to speak to AJ. Alan and Monica wonder what it' s about, as does Ned, who truly looks worried. Alan tells Ned he' s not the only crowned prince around there. AJ comes back a moment later. Grandfather is a man of few words! He has an errand to take care of. Later, the entire family gathers for Edward' s first dinner home. Alan and Monica sense tension between Paul and Tracy. Monica and Tracy start fighting, but Alan puts a stop to it. Ned walks in and tells them that Edward said when the President of ELQ is sick, the Treasure (Ned) takes over. Jenny arrives, and the tension level goes up. Alan and Monica step aside to chat about how awkward it is with both Paul and Jenny in the same room. AJ returns home with a fat lip. He admits that made a mistake and fixed it. He lost his job at the hospital as a volunteer though. Monica hardly thinks he' s upset about that. They are both proud of him and hug him. Back in the living room, Ned and Jenny announce their engagement. Everyone exchanges looks.

Alan and Monica drag AJ to Steve' s office to ask for AJ' s job back at the hospital. They want him to be setting a good example for Jason when he arrives home. Steve apologizes. This is a hospital, not a halfway house. AJ stole drugs and set up one of his interns. He' s lucky he' s not in jail.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica talk to Tracy about the big board meeting. They tell her they are voting for Paul. When Tracy walks out, they talk about having AJ listen in on the meeting. They are hoping to give him a foothold into the company. Ned hangs around in the foyer to hear Alan and Monica talk about how they are planning to groom AJ for the ELQ chair. Ned can' t believe his ears. Do they really except their sniveling reprobate son of theirs to run ELQ? FAT chance! Alan and Monica have a talk to AJ about the board meeting. Edward has allowed him to sit in as long as he is a silent observer. AJ pumps his fist. All right! Monica tells him he has to show maturity now that Edward is back. AJ is all pumped up about watching Ned' s face hit the dirt. At ELQ, Lucy tries to hustle investors for her new perfume venture. She offers to sell her vote! Tracy laughs in her face. Ned blows her off. Monica walks past her (it' s funny!) Lucy finally gets a taker in Edward, who claims he' ll talk figures after the vote. The meeting comes to order, but quickly descends into madness when everyone starts tearing into each other.

Back to Top

Jason returns, AJ drinking on New Year's, AJ's DUI hearing, David Langton storyline begins, "Nikki", The REAL Nikki arrives, Alan thinks Monica is obsessed with David Langton, Monica begins keeping a journal, Nikki tries (and fails) to gain control of her father's money.

At ELQ, the big board meeting is in progress. Edward nominates Ned as CEO and threatens to cut every Quartermaine out of his will unless they vote accordingly. Subsequently, Ned wins the vote. Paul jumps into partnership with Bill and Julia regarding the six canneries. Afterwards, Ned tells Paul he shouldn't have gone out without a fight---he was looking forward to spilling a little blood. Paul shrugs. Maybe next time. Outside, Lucy holds Edward to his promise, but Edward pulls rank on her. He has problems with his memory. Lucy's jaw drops as he walks away. That old coot!

At home, Ned is gloating big time. Alan tells him not to be so smug. The only reason he won was because Edward put a gun to their heads. Ned wonders why Paul went out so quietly. Everyone is surprised when Jason arrives home from boarding school. It's hugs all the way around---except from AJ, who glares at his brother. The bastard son has returned! Jason punches him, which Edward thoroughly enjoys. He' ll make a nice addition to the family!

Christmas at the Quartermaines: Ned brings in stacks of gifts for Jenny, which annoys Tracy. Alan plays with his trains. AJ is jealous of Alan & Monica's attention on Jason, the golden boy. Jason tells them all stories about his backpacking trip through Europe. Jenny arrives. Ned introduces her to Jason. Later, Alan, Monica and the boys go to GH for the annual Christmas party. Alan introduces Jason to people while AJ feels like an outsider. They return home later with some homeless people they are putting up for the holidays.

Tracy is bummed out on New Years Eve because Paul is away working. She asks Monica what she should do. Paul hates her. Monica enlightens her about what Paul said when he was brought into the ER with a stab wound: "Can't kill Tracy." Tracy wants to hear more, but Monica has to run to the hospital. She's waiting in the living room later when Monica returns. What else did Paul say? Monica dodges her (she doesn't want to let it slip about Paul saying he loves Jenny). Their conversation gets cut short when AJ comes to Monica for permission to go to a New Year's Eve party.

On New Year's Eve, Edward tells Lila she has never looked lovelier. Ned and Jenny hobnob with them. Alan and Monica come in all dressed up and ready to go out. AJ and Jason arrive. They are about to leave for a party. AJ's friend arrives. As they leave, Alan and Monica reiterate that there is to be NO drinking. Tracy comes in. She's in a bad mood because Paul is away. They invite her to the Outback but she refuses. Alan tells her she can end the year miserable just liked she started it. Edward makes a toast to all the Qs. At the Outback, Alan and Monica dance. There is a New Year's countdown. Everyone kisses.

At the mansion, it's New Year's Day. AJ is on the phone making plans with his buddy Chip to go out drinking as Jason listens in. Jason is ticked that AJ had booze and strippers at the New Year's Eve party last. The only reason he's not going to tell Mom and Dad is he doesn't want to ruin their holiday. AJ warns him he' d better not say anything. Alan and Monica walk in and ask how the party was last night. Jason grunts. It wasn't what he expected. Alan asks Jennings to set up a TV in the living room so that they can watch the Rose Bowl. Monica would rather have a root canal, but offers to stay around to be with the family. They all watch the game together. AJ has some major attitude, then takes off to watch the game with his friend. Jason takes off too, and Alan and Monica get a visit from Chip's parents. They have a box of booze and are livid at AJ and Jason for bringing liquor to their house. Alan and Monica are appalled, and apologize before getting a verbal beating about what rotten parents they are. When AJ returns home, they confront him Chip's party. He has humiliated beyond belief and know that Jason had nothing to do with it. AJ rolls his eyes. Of course they think the best of Jason. AJ tries to shift the blame to them. They are rotten parents and they never cared about either him or Jason. All they ever loved is the almighty dollar!

AJ gets in Jason's face about the booze at the party. He told Mom and Dad, didn't he? Jason tells him he acted like a horses ass, and now he's paying! Alan and Monica arrive and demand to know if Jason knew about this? Jason sidesteps them, and Monica accuses AJ of having bullied Jason into lying for him. Tracy walks in on their fight and throws her two cents in. Their son is a screw up and her son is the only one who is worthy of the Quartermaine name. She and Alan start screaming at each other. That is when Ned and Jenny walk in as Alan runs after Tracy followed by Monica. They boys disperse too, and Ned runs off to help mediate between Alan and Tracy. Later, Ned comes back in and tells Jenny the fight was nothing. Everything's good. Eventually, they all make their way back in, and are civil to each other. Ned puts his arm around Jenny. See?

Alan has a staff meeting at GH as the new assistant chief of staff.

The Quartermaines throw a party for Jenny's mother. Tracy is less than enthusiastic to entertain the "bakers wife." Alan and Monica arrive and apologize for being late. Angela arrives and blows everyone away with her new image. AJ and Jason arrive at the party and Alan introduces them to Angela. Jason catches AJ getting loaded at the bar. He' d better hold off. AJ tells him to mind his own business. The rest of the Q's watch from the sidelines as Tracy and Angela square off regarding the wedding plans. Angela insists on taking over the arrangements. When Tracy balks, Angela digs her heels in. She will not allow her daughter to walk in the path of Ned's first marriage. Later, AJ is wasted. Jason warns him not to let Mom and Dad see him this way. AJ snaps at him and heads upstairs.

The next morning, Jason asks to use the car to go to the mall. AJ comes in and they can tell he's been drinking. Alan starts screaming at him and has an attack of pain. Monica and Jason sit him down and he admits he's on ulcer medication. Monica blames AJ for Alan's ulcer and AJ storms out. Later, AJ returns as Jason is about to head out to the mall. He's ticked that Jason gets to go out and he doesn't . Jennings comes in and tells them that Alan left his keys in the Mercedes. AJ heads out to take off with Alan's car without permission. Jason tries to warn him against it. Later, Alan and Monica get word that there has been a plane crash and they are needed at GH. Jennings tells them that AJ took off with Alan's car.

Alan and Monica arrive at the ER, which is in chaos following the plane crash. They are both worried about Jason because he was at the mall. The police bring AJ in. He has crashed Alan's car and has cuts and bruises. Monica tells Alan to handle it. She's needed in surgery. Alan yells at AJ while he's treated. The girl in the car with him is also in the ER. She's drunk. Her parents come in and verbally whiplash Alan for what a disaster his son is. Alan tells the cop to go ahead a lock AJ up for the night. He' ll be there in the morning IF he can. Later, Alan sees Jason there and hugs him. Thank God he's all right! Audrey mentions that Jason was on the news and is a hero for having saved people during the disaster. Alan is proud of him and hugs him.

Meanwhile, Monica scrubs up for surgery, telling Bobbie that AJ is in the ER for drunk driving and she's worried about Jason, who was at the mall. She begins operating on a John Doe. Things get dicey, and during the surgery, Monica sees his face and realizes she knows him! Her hand starts to shake and Bobbie touches her. Is she okay? Monica nods and continues. Her patient starts to bleed and she almost losses him in surgery. Afterwards, Monica is really shaken. Bobbie asks her if she's okay. Monica snaps at her. Her job is to assist, not to pass judgment!

At GH, Monica sits with her patent (who's in the ICU) and asks him where he's been all these years. Bobbie comes in and Monica tells her how worried she is. Bobbie decides to get Tony for a consult. After Tony examines him, he thinks that Monica's patient may have brain damage. He orders tests. Alone, Monica sits with him and wonders if she did this to him. Bobbie comes back, and Monica tells her that the brain damage is her fault. She made a mistake in surgery. Bobbie tries to make her feel better about it. She thinks she startled Monica when she touched her hand. She advises Monica to go home and get some sleep. Monica says no. She doesn't want to face AJ.

Alan brings home AJ from jail with AJ complaining the conditions there. He could have sent Jennings to bail him out! Alan is disgusted with him for endangering lives. He and AJ's mother in the business of saving lives! Later, Monica returns home and tears into AJ for his reckless behavior. He's an adult and he's responsible for his own actions! She hopes the judge puts him in jail! Later, Monica is lounging in her robe because she can't sleep. Alan comes in. She tells him about her fight with AJ, and that one of her patients is not doing very well at GH. Alan tries to rub her shoulders, but Monica tenses up. She needs a hot bath.

At GH, Tony tells Monica that her patient does have brain damage. Monica freaks out a little (can't anyone see that she's totally unobjective here?). Afterwards, Monica returns to her patient. Oh David. She has another flashback and remembers the day they parted ways when they were young. Bobbie comes in and can see how upset Monica is. Monica thinks the brain damage is all her fault. Later, Monica has another flashback of writing David a letter while she was in the hospital after giving birth to his daughter, Dawn.

At GH, Tiffany hounds Alan for a list of the critical patients. She wants to know if the David Langton they have is THE David Langton, the famous humanitarian. Tiffany shows a picture of him to Monica and she confirms, that is him. Alan agrees to call a press conference. Bobbie finds out that Langton is a world famous figure and chats with Monica about it. They take turns taking the blame for Langton's dicey surgery. Tiffany speaks to Monica and insists that she be at the press conference for questions. Monica tries to get out of it, but fails. At the press conference, Alan announces to the press that David Langton is in critical condition, then introduces Monica for questions. Monica is clearly on edge as the press wants to clarify whether Langton's condition is due to his injury, or due to the heart surgery. Afterwards, Alan congratulates her on a good job at the press conference.

Alan and Tracy can't agree on what to watch on TV, so they keep flipping the channel back and forth every 5 minutes. Tracy has indigestion. Alan thinks she stuffed herself like a pig at dinner.

Meanwhile, Monica sits with David and tells him that she gave birth to his child, and put the baby girl up for adoption. When Monica returns home, she and Alan watch Tiffany's news cast about all the humanitarian efforts that David has been responsible for over the years and the lives he's touched. Monica starts to cry. Alan asks her what's wrong. She says that she just never realized how much Mr. Langton did for the world. Alan has never seen her react this way to one of her patients. She did the best she could, the rest is up to fate. Monica blames her mood on AJ. When Alan leaves, she calls the hospital for an update on Langton. There is no change.

Monica meets with Tony to discuss David Langton's tests. Tony doesn't have any good news. Steve comes in David's chief aid Warren Simon. Monica tenses up when Simon asks what put David into a coma. She explains the surgery to him and that David experienced blood loss due the rupture of his aorta. Simon tells Monica and Bobbie that David has a daughter named Nikki. Monica blinks. Nikki?

By the nurses station, Tracy seems stunned. Alan is concerned on her. Did she get her checkup? Tracy gets sarcastic with him. The doctor told her to go home, put her feet up and stay away from people who annoy her. Later at home, Tracy is still in a mood. Alan arrives home and presses the issue. He wants to know what's wrong with her. She looked really upset at GH. Tracy says it's hormones.

At Ned and Jenny's engagement party, Jason tells Alan that he's thinking of finishing school in PC instead of returning to boarding school. Alan thinks that's a great idea. AJ arrives with a date and introduces her to his parents. Alan pulls Monica aside. What's up with her? She's miles away. He surmises it's David Langton. He's never seen her so emotionally involved with a patient. Monica asks Tony if there's any news on Langton. There isn't . When Monica has a moment with Bobbie, they talk about how guilty they feel over David's condition. Tracy announces her pregnancy at the party.

At the mansion, AJ gets a summons for his court appearance. Jason wishes him luck, but AJ accuses him of being on the DA's side. Meanwhile, Alan corners Tracy as she is on the phone confirming her appointment. Is she faking her pregnancy to trap Paul? Tracy resents that. What is she supposed to do in nine months--deliver an eight pound pillow? Alan is sure she' ll think of something.

At GH, Monica is in the ICU with Langton. Langton's assistant tells her that David's daughter Nikki is on her way. Jason arrives and tells Monica about his decision to stay in PC rather than going back to boarding school. Monica hugs him. She's going to love having him around. When Monica checks on David, there is no change. While she waits at his bedside, she remembers when David gave her the pet name "Nikki." Then David wakes up and smiles at her. Nikki . . . Monica runs out of the room to get Tony, but by the time she comes back, David has slipped back into a coma.

Monica goes with AJ to his DUI court hearing. AJ gets fined $1000, 100 hours of community service and counseling, and his license is suspended for a year. Meanwhile at GH, Steve suggests a vacation for Alan. Monica and AJ arrive. AJ is full of complaints about losing his license. Alan tells him he's lucky he's not in prison. Monica finds out that Nikki Langton has arrived. She goes to the ICU to meet Nikki and is stunned to learn that Nikki's real name is Monica too. Her dad has been calling her Nikki ever since she was young. Monica fills her in on her dad's condition, and Nikki gets weepy. Her dad is the only family she has left. She asks why her dad is in a coma and learns about the complication during her father's surgery. Out by the nurses station, AJ and Alan meet Nikki. AJ is crabby and rude to her. After he storms off, Monica turns down Alan's idea to go to Bermuda, as she is too busy at GH. Alan points out how much Nikki resembles Dawn.

At GH, Monica is pacing in David's room. Alan thinks Monica is taking her professional concerns too far where David is concerned. He suggests she see Tom Hardy. She's obsessed with David Langton! Monica takes offense to that but agrees to see Tom. When Tony comes in, she is desperate for good news, but Tony can't conclusively say that Langton doesn't have brain damage, despite that he spoke. Later, Monica speaks to Tom. She tells him about the incident during surgery, but not the fact that she has a past with Langton. Monica gets word that David is waking up and rushes to his room. Tony talks to David, who seems really slow. Nikki arrives to see her dad. David recognizes Monica but not Nikki. Later that night, Monica can't stop thinking about the botched surgery as she settles into bed with Alan.

Back at her room at the PC Hotel, Nikki reads a past letter from her father.

Tony, Eric, and Monica meet with Nikki to discuss her father's physical therapy. Warren Simone tells Monica and Tony about a 2 million anonymous check that David had with him was destroyed in the crash. Only David can reveal the identity of the donor. Nikki makes a stink about Simon only caring about money when her father's life is hanging in the balance. Monica comforts her and she cries on her shoulder. After Nikki leaves, Tony tells Monica that there is something familiar about that girl. He just can't place it. Later, Nikki sits with her dad, but he still does not recognize her.

At GH, Nikki walks in on David and Monica holding hands. Monica explains it away by telling her that patients become attached to their doctors all the time. Later, Monica dresses down Eric and a bunch of nurses in a cafeteria for taking a break while they are supposed to be with Langton. Alan pulls her aside. She's obsessed with Langton. He thinks she's trying to keep her mind off AJ, but this isn't healthy. Why not let Tony take the case. Monica refuses. David Langton is her patient and will be until he's discharged from the hospital! Later, Bobbie comes to see Monica and fishes for information. She thinks there's something more to the situation than she's been letting on. Monica evades her.

Meanwhile, Nikki has lunch with AJ in the cafeteria. He wants to make up for being rude to her when they first met.

When Monica returns home, she starts writing in her journal about David. He made her feel like no other man ever has, not even Alan. She's terrified that she caused his coma. When Alan comes in, she hides the journal.

Ned's bachelor party wraps up. Afterwards, Alan and the boys head home. Alan finds out from Jennings that Monica has not come home from GH yet. Her shift was over two hours ago. At GH, Monica sits with David and has a flashback of David reading poetry to her when they were young. "She walks in beauty like the night" (they should have made a wig for David or at least combed his hair different. He doesn't look a day younger in the flashbacks). David wakes up and smiles at Monica. She walks in beauty like the night . . . When Monica returns home, she tells Alan she had complications with a patent. She's so sorry for being late! Alan gives her a Valentine 's Day present. A trip to Hawaii! She turns him down. Her case load is too busy at the hospital. Alan is disappointed, but sucks it up.

At GH, Monica helps David back into bed and congratulates him. He has walked for the first time! She talks to him about some of their past that he doesn't remember. When Nikki walks in, David recognizes her and has an episode. Monica has to give him a sedative. Nikki's meets with Scott about setting up a conservatorship so she can take over her father's finances and learns she must be 21. She is only 20. Back at GH, Nikki runs into AJ and he invites her to lunch sometime. In David's room, Monica sits with David and apologizes for waking him up. Monica wonders why David remembered her when he first woke up but not his daughter or his own name. David says she was his one great love.

Scott arrives at GH and tells Nikki he checked and she can't get the conservatorship because of her age. Nikki is peeved. There's no way she can get to her father's money?! Meanwhile, Monica is in with David telling him how wonder it is what he's done with his life. David notices Monica's wedding ring for the first time. Is she married? Monica nods. David says he wanted to marry her. Monica says that if she knew he was alive, things would have been different. Nikki walks in on them, so Monica takes off. David immediately gets upset with Nikki in the room. He questions her about leaving her mother for Europe and not seeing her psychologist. They start fighting and Nikki hits his pillow as Sheila walks in. Nikki says there was a spider and walks out. Afterwards, Sheila is apparently blind and can't see that David is upset because of Nikki, not a spider. Meanwhile, Monica asks Tony if David's progress could be hindered by seeing someone from his past (namely, her). Tony doesn't think so.

At GH, Sheila tells Nikki to keep her hands off her boyfriend and they have words. Monica steps off the elevator and sends Sheila off. Later, Monica has a chat with Sheila about losing her cool with Nikki. She needs to keep her personal problems at home. Sheila tells Monica that Nikki is a conniver and she doesn't trust her. She tells Monica about the spider incident yesterday. Nikki lied. Monica says she' ll talk to Nikki.

At GH, Monica is with David. He is frustrated that is progress is so slow and that there are so many holes in his memory. Monica gives him a pep talk. It's going to take some time, but he will recover.

Steve comes in, concerned about Langton's condition. He wants Monica to get a second opinion from Dr. Buranski on David's condition.

Meanwhile, Scott meets with Nikki and tells her that that a lawsuit against the airline is not possible since David signed a waiver.

Bobbie comes to see Monica in her office to ask about David's medication. What she really wants is for Monica to talk to her about what's been bothering her. Something is consuming her. Monica cracks and starts to tell Bobbie the truth, but they are interrupted by Eric. Later, Bobbie catches her again and reminds he that she' ll be ready to listen whenever Monica is ready to talk. Monica goes in with David, who wakes up and says he's scared.

At GH, Alan asks Monica to hand David's case off to another doctor. It's taking too much out of her. Monica accuses him of being jealous of an incapacitated man. Later, Monica calls Bobbie to tell her that David is doing better. She's also ready to talk. Bobbie says she' ll be there later. Alan gets peeved when Monica won't leave the hospital even though Langton is doing better. Did she fall in love with this man on the operating table, or is it something from the past? Monica tells him she's doing her job and storms away. When Bobbie arrives, Monica admits she knew David before the surgery. He's Dawn's father. Bobbie thinks she should remove herself from the case, but Monica insists she wants to see this through.

Nikki meets with Tony and Monica, who ask her if there was anything emotionally upsetting going on when David had his attack. Nikki starts to spill it about Monica's past, but AJ interrupts. He wants to reschedule the dinner that Nikki had to cancel with the Qs. Nikki accepts. Later, Nikki lies to Monica about what her and her father where talking about before his attack, and rubs it in by telling her that her dad said her mom was the love of his life.

AJ brings Nikki to meets the Qs at the mansion. Nikki is full of questions about AJ's family. Later, Alan mentions to Monica that AJ brought Nikki around to the mansion to meet everyone. He thinks AJ's taste in friends has improved.

At GH, David tells Monica she's beautiful, and he's going to miss her once he's out of the hospital. Monica says goodnight and leaves for the day. Nikki goes in to see her father and wants to talk about what's going to happen when he gets out. They start talking about Monica, and Nikki accuses him of still being in love with her. He lied to her. He said there was nothing between them! Nikki saw them kissing, and she knows about his little pet name for her; "Nikki." She accuses him of never caring about her. David has another attack and collapses.

Monica tries to resuscitate David but it is no use. He dies. Monica holds it together around everyone, then breaks down in her office with Bobbie. Meanwhile, Eric tells Nikki that her father is gone. Monica offers to let Nikki stay at the Q mansion for the night as she now has no family. Bobbie tries to tell Monica it is a bad idea to take Nikki in, but Monica wont listen.

At the mansion, Alan and AJ have just had dinner together. Alan starts asking AJ what he wants to do with his life and what he thinks of Nikki Langton. AJ likes her because she understands being forgotten in a boarding school. They start fighting and AJ walks out. Later, Monica arrives with Nikki. Alan pulls Monica aside. This goes far beyond her obligation as a doctor. He doesn't get it. Monica thinks he should try thinking about someone else for a change; it might do him good! Later, Nikki walks around the living room in her robe after everyone else has gone to sleep and flashes back to the fight with her dad (that killed him). AJ comes in and they have a chat about Monica and how dedicated she is. Upstairs, Monica stands at her window and thinks about David. Alan talks to her and tries again to get her to tell him what's really bothering her. When she's ready to talk, he's there.

At the mansion, Monica gives Nikki David's belongings from the hospital. Nikki salts her wounds by telling her that her dad will be buried next to her mother. It was his wish that he be buried next to the only woman he ever loved. Isn't that beautiful? Monica nods. Monica invites Nikki to stay in the mansion until she figures out what she is going to do. Lila pushes her and Nikki accepts. Tracy walks in and is a little less than thrilled to hear that Nikki will be staying on. Aside, Monica warns Tracy not to pester Nikki. She saw the way Tracy was looking at Nikki. The girl is not looking to snag her husband! Tracy is curious as to why Monica has taken on this charity case. There is more to meet the eye and she's going to find out what it is. Later, Nikki hobnobs with AJ and Jason.Tony calls Monica with the news that autopsy report is ready on David Langton.

Monica goes to GH to get the autopsy report on David. He didn't die of a heart attack as they thought. It was a pulmonary embolism. Nothing could have been done to save him. Before leaving the hospital, Monica talks with Tom and tells him how she is replaying the surgery over and over in her head. She comes clean about her past with David.

At the house, Nikki questions Alan as to why an autopsy was done on her dad. He tells her that the cause of death must be determined, and to make sure the hospital followed protocol. Later, AJ helps Nikki pack for DC. Downstairs, Tracy is peeved that everyone is ruining her alone time with Paul. As Ned is leaving with Jenny, he pauses when he sees Nikki in the foyer. She looks so much like someone he used to know . . . (Dawn). Later, Alan comes in looking for his medical journal, followed by Nikki, who chats with Tracy and fishes for information about who it is she looks like. Tracy tells her it was Dawn, Ned's first wife. Nikki is full of questions, which makes Tracy suspicious. My, doesn't she have a curious nature? Later, Jason comes to see Alan in his bedroom. He wants to talk. Jason doesn't understand why Nikki is staying with them. It has made him think about what he would do if he lost his father. Alan hugs him. They talk about how much Nikki looks like Dawn. Meanwhile, AJ fills Nikki in on the Quartermaine family dynamic.

Monica is reading in her journal when Alan walks in. She hides the journal and they chat about how sad it is about Robert and Anna's death. Alan wants to talk, so they go to lunch together at the PC Grill. Alan fells like walls have come up between them. They are like strangers who happen to share a bed. Does she even love him anymore? Monica says of course she does.

Nikki meets with Warren Simon to go over her father's will. Half of David's money will go to charity and she gets the other half in a trust. She will get an allowance every month until she is 25. Nikki is not very happy. Before leaving, she gets David's personal effects and finds a photo of David and Monica together. Uh-oh. Later, Nikki returns to the mansion, greeted by Monica. Alan listens at the top of the stairs as they talk about David's personal effects. Nikki leaves to take a phone call, and Alan watches Monica try to snoop through David's things.

Nikki finds herself alone in the mansion when all the Quartermaine's go out for Robert and Anna's memorial service, so she does some snooping. She also tries to pump Jennings for information. Wise, Jenning's refuses to give out.

Nikki comes to Monica's room to ask for a lift to GH. While she's there, she notices that Monica keeps a journal. At GH, Steve asks Nikki why Langton got out of bed. Nikki lies and makes it sound as if he was agitated about something to do with Monica. Later at the mansion, Nikki returns to Monica's room to get the journal, but Tracy catches her snooping around in there and calls her on it. AJ feels sorry for Nikki and offers her a good time playing raquetball. Later, when Monica returns home, Tracy tells her that she caught Nikki snooping in her room. Monica bawls Tracy out for accusing Nikki. Alan then comes down on Monica for dismissing Tracy's accusation's so readily. He's tired of putting up with Nikki around the house! Monica reminds him that it's HER house and storms out. Later, Tracy reiterates her warning to Alan that Nikki is up to no good, and that Monica knows more than she's saying. Alan excuses himself and searches Nikki's room, finding the picture of Monica with Langton. Uh-oh! Afterwards, Alan gives Monica a chance to come clean, but she continues to lie. He confronts her with the picture. Monica tearfully tells him everything. Alan can't get over the fact that she lied and walks out on her.

At GH, Amy gossips that Alan has slept in his office overnight. She thinks there's trouble there since Alan and Monica have been fighting. She hushes up when Alan walks in. Tom asks Alan if he needs to talk, but Alan brushes him off. Later, Jason arrives to confront Alan about not coming home last night. Is he alright? Alan tries to tell him he was working, but Jason has sensed the tension. He knows things have been tough. Alan tells him to keep being who he is. It's nice to have one son who cares about his family. Tom tries to talk to Alan again and Alan gets irate when finds out Tom knew about Monica and David Langton. Does everyone at GH know this but him?!

Nikki snoops through Monica's room and gets her hands on Monica's journal. Meanwhile, Monica tries to reason with Alan at GH, but he's furious with her for confiding in Tom and not him.

Nikki goes to Scott for some legal advice. Scott is disbarred, but promises he' ll recommend a good lawyer. Later, Nikki returns to Monica's room to put the journal back, but when she hears Alan and Monica returning, she hides in the closet and listens to them fight about Langton. She manages to slip away when their argument moves into the bathroom.

Back in her room, Nikki reads Monica's journal and learns Monica had a child by her father. She figures out that it was Dawn. She breaks into the GH record room and makes a copy of her father's file. Afterwards, she runs into AJ and invites him to lunch, where she prods him for information and does more prying into Monica's past. AJ tells her exactly what she's been hoping for: that Monica owns the mansion.

In the meantime, Alan and Monica get nowhere when they try to talk. Later, Lila comes to have a heart to heart with Monica.

Nikki contacts Jessica Holms and sets up a meeting. Upstairs, Alan is bothered by his ulcers and decides to stay home from the hospital. Jason comes in to borrow some money and Alan tells he's very proud of how serious Jason is taking his studies. Jason gets concerned about Alan's ulcer pain, but Alan says he's okay.

He's sore at Monica for all the lies. When court resumes, Bobbie takes the stand and it comes out that Dawn was David's daughter. Jason gets upset and runs out. Outside the courtroom, everyone reels. Jason loses it with Monica. She always told them never to lie. What happened to that?! AJ goes after Jason while Alan hugs Monica. Back at home, Monica worries that she's really ruined Jason's life. Alan thinks he'll come around. Stockton calls with the news that Tom Hardy's files will be used in court but he has some of his own ammunition on Nikki.

Tom testifies at the trial and is forced to tell the court that Monica thought she made a mistake during David's surgery. Afterwards, Nikki testifies and plays the sympathy card, talking about her mother's death. Monica takes the stand. Jessica brings in a page of Monica's journal and it's admitted into evidence. She makes Monica read the part where she calls David the love of her life. Alan leaves the courtroom. Later at the mansion, Monica fills Edward in on what happened at the courthouse. Alan returns home and Monica tries to apologies, but he stops her. It's just not enough anymore. She has humiliated him beyond belief! It's not going to happen anymore. He walks out, leaving Monica in tears. Then Monica see's David's ghost.

At the mansion, Monica is crying when David's ghost makes an appearance. He has something to tell herÂ…Ned comes in and has a heart to heart with Monica. He's worried that she has written about their affair in her journal. Monica understands why he's worried, but assures him she didn't.

Alan comes down on AJ when he sees him with a beer can in his hand and they have a screaming argument. Later, Steve finds Alan in his office drinking. Steve has a long talk with his old buddy and tries to persuade Alan that his marriage is worth saving. Alan is bitter and thinks Monica is liar.

Lila comes in and suggests a game of scrabble. As they play, David's ghost appears and the letter on the board move to spell his name. Later, Monica sees Jason bringing AJ home drunk. Up in her room, there is another eerie incident when Monica's old college book opens by itself to a page with a note in it where David wrote how much he loved her.

Jason comes to see Alan at GH and confronts him about not coming home last night. Jason can't get past the fact that mom lied. He doesn't want to sit in that courtroom and hear anymore of the gory details. Alan is not going to court. He's taking the day off. They go to the park and watch a little league game.

In the morning, Monica finds her book out again. Eerie! At the courthouse, AJ shows up drunk and looking like a mess. He's next to testify! She tells him to clean himself up. Stockton tells Monica and Bobbie that he is flying a witness in from DC to testify for them. Later, AJ testifies at the trial that Nikki and her father did not get along. Jessica twists everything he says and makes Monica look like a bad mother. Outside, AJ apologizes. He's just tired. Monica tells him to knock it off. She saw him come home drunk last night! Eric comes forward with an idea. He thinks it's possible that Langton may have had a preexisting heart condition. Eric testifies about Nikki's obsession with him. Stockton questions Nikki on the stand about her relationship with her parents. Then he slams her with questions about her father's last moments. She fought with him didn't she? He has proof of David's spike in heart rate and blood pressure during the time she was in his room. She caused him to rise out of his bed, causing his embolism, didn't she? Nikki jumps up and swears it isn't true.

Alan returns to the courtroom to support Monica and apologizes for leaving her on her own. He was wrong to do that. Monica is just glad he's there. Nikki's psychiatrist, Martha James, blows Nikki's image of an idyllic family life that she has presented in court. Nikki freaks out when she's accused of being responsible for her mother's death. Stockton recalls Eric to the stand, and he voices his claim that Langton had a preexisting heart condition. The judge orders Langton's body to be exhumed for a second autopsy. Later at home, Monica gets another message from the ghost of David. The letters on Lila's scrabble board move to spell "Not Guilty". Then Monica sees David.

At home, AJ is hung over and a mess. Jasoncovers for him with Alan and Monica. At the courthouse, the trial resumes. A coroner confirms that David had a previous heart condition, and was doomed from the start. Nikki's lawsuit is thrown out of court. Hugs and cheers on Monica's side. Monica thanks Eric and hugs him. Jason congratulates Monica, but he's still peeved. Nikki sits there like a statue. AJ offers to be there for her. Can he come over tonight? Nikki wants to be alone and walks out. Back at the mansion, Monica is feeling guilty that she won her case, but David still died. Alan tells her to let David go. Monica has a moment alone in the den and David's ghost appears again, comforting her. Then there is a message on the glass door: Alan loves you, goodbye. Monica cries. When Alan returns, he asks her if she would have left him for David had he lived. Monica tells him that her relationship with David was never meant to be. Theirs is. They hug.

At the mansion, AJ is booking a flight out of town as Jason walks in, followed by Monica. Monica freaks when she learns AJ is going off to see Nikki. AJ defends her. She didn't mean to hurt anyone! She thought Monica was guilty! Jason yells at AJ and they nearly come to blows. AJ leaves.

Nikki listens to the audiotapes of her parent's therapy sessions, basically saying they never loved her. AJ finds Nikki listening to the tape over and over again. She cries in his arms.

At the mansion, the Q's have a party for Dillon's homecoming. Alan and Monica are worried about AJ. Tracy arrives with little Dillon and places him in Edward's arms. Edward makes a toast to the new heir. Tracy seethes when Jenny holds the baby.

At Kelly's, Jagger repairs Ruby's ice cream freezer. Alan is impressed and hires him to work on the Quartermaine boat. Jason arrives and Alan asks him if he's seen AJ. Jason hasn't. Then AJ arrives with Nikki. Alan gives him a hard time for running off. Why would he bring that kind of trash back to town? They start to argue. Jason convinces them to take their argument home. At the mansion, Alan fills Monica in on the latest. AJ has brought that horrid girl back to town! Monica doesn't care about Nikki, only AJ. She hugs him when he walks in, then leaves AJ and Alan to fight it out. Jason returns home just as Alan is telling AJ he's ashamed of him and is giving up on him. He's beyond redemption. He thanks God he has at least one son like Jason! AJ runs upstairs, and Jason is appalled. How could he say that to him? He runs after AJ. Later, Monica returns. Alan wonders what they did wrong. He cries and says he's ashamed of AJ. He's failed his son.

It's Dillon's christening party at the Q mansion. Jason introduces Karen to Alan and Monica. They are both distracted, worried about AJ. Meanwhile, AJ is drinking pretty heavily at dinner with Nikki at The Outback. They leave and get into a car accident with a drunk AJ behind the wheel.Back at the house, Tracy razzes Monica about AJ not showing up. Monica is worried that something has happened to him. Later, they receive word of AJ's accident and rush to GH, where AJ has just been brought in.

At GH, Tom tells Alan and Monica that AJ does not remember anything about the accident and that Nikki is in surgery for a ruptured spleen. Detective Garcia arrives and lets them know that AJ will be charged if it is proven that he was behind the wheel of the car. Jasonarrives tries to get Alan to see he's too hard on AJ. They argue. Later, Jason sits by AJ's bedside and breaks down. AJ wakes ups and learns Nikki has made it through surgery.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica are relieved that AJ is going to be okay. Tracy is sincerely sorry for the nasty things she said the other day. A moment later, all three of them are tearing into each other over AJ and Jason's choices in women. Jason even gets into the mix when Tracy calls Karen a slut. Later, Alan and Monica talk about AJ. Alan wishes he would have taken AJ's drinking problem seriously earlier. Jason walks in on them and gets on Alan's case for fighting with AJ and driving him to drink the day of the accident. He leaves angry.

At GH, Tony tells AJ that he can go home if he tests turn out good. AJ learns that Nikki is awake and asking for him. He jumps up to go see her. Alan and Monica stop him. He needs to put some distance between himself and Nikki! AJ doesn't listen and takes off to see her. Garcia arrives and wants to question AJ about the accident but Alan and Monica want to get him a lawyer first.

At GH, Alan and Monica are waiting with AJ while Garcia questions Nikki about the accident. Later, Garcia comes to tell them that Nikki told him she was driving the car. AJ is off the hook. Afterwards, they are peeved when AJ wants to hang out with Nikki instead of going home.

At home, Alan and Monica wonder where AJ spent the night. They find out that he stayed at Nikki's room at Kelly's. Alan is upset. He wants to cut AJ out of his will to knock some sense into him. After Monica leaves, Alan has a chat with Jason about Karen's mother. Alan thinks he needs to nip this situation in the bud. Karen's mother is a golddigger. He's seen too many of them in his day! Jason gets upset at him for judging Karen because of her mother. He takes off. Later, Alan argues with Edward about AJ. Edward wants Alan to put his foot down where AJ is concerned.

At Kelly's, Karen apologizes to Monica for what happened at the christening the other night. Monica is very gracious and tells her not to worry about it. She is not the first person to be embarrassed by her mother -- and not to blame herself because she did not do anything wrong. Later, Monica runs into AJ in the park and tries to talk to him about Alan and his feelings for Nikki. They end up arguing and AJ walks away. At GH, Nikki catches Monica in the hall and apologizes to her for all the heartache she's caused. She was in so much pain after her father diedÂ… Monica is not very receptive. There is no way she'll ever win her trust back.

At GH, Monica is worried about the boys due to the storm. AJ comes by. He's there to see Nikki, which upsets Monica, but she holds her tongue. Later, Monica sees AJ kiss Nikki. After delivering a baby, Monica tells Alan about AJ being with Nikki. Alan thinks they should do something about it, but Monica doesn't think they should interfere.

Alan and Monica call Tracy at the mansion. Has she seen Jason? It turns out no one has heard from him since before the storm. Alan and Monica go to Nikki's room to get AJ. Has he heard from Jason? AJ doesn't know where he is, and isn't worried. Alan tells him to get his butt home. Alan and Monica return home later with no word. Karen's mother arrives with Scott looking for Karen. It seems Karen is missing too. Tracy gets on Alan and Monica about the way they've raised their sons. HER son will learn to communicate. Later, Tracy comforts Monica and lets her know that she understands how she feels. Monica had her back when she didn't know if Dillon was going to survive. Tracy just wants to do the same. They hug and Monica breaks down.

At the mansion, Tracy, Lila and Jenny help comfort Monica, who is frantic. They all insist that Jason was able to find shelter in the storm. Tracy quips, everyone else sure did. Ned and Paul return with no news. They haven't found a thing. Monica's worry increases. She doesn't know how much more of this she can take!

Rhonda shows up at The Qs for an update on the search for Karen and Jason, annoying everyone. Later, Robin and Bobbie show up.

Monica arrives at the hospital. She's going to see her patents despite that Jason is still missing.She gets word that Nikki wants to see her. Nikki apologies to her again for the lawsuit. Monica sees through her. What's her game? Why did she cover for AJ? In case she's wondering, he wont have his trust fund for a very long time. Nikki takes offense to that. AJ is a good friend to her. Monica wants her to stay away from AJ. Nikki thinks it's up to AJ. Can Monica keep AJ away from her? Later, Nikki is discharged. She thanks Steve for treating her so good despite all the trouble she caused. She acts all weepy, but smiles to herself as she's wheeled away.

Alan joins Sean and Tiffany at Kelly's to continue to the search for Jason. Afterwards, Alan accompanies Sean on a plane to search the coastline for the kids.

Alan returns home to Monica with no news of Jason. Monica is looking at a photo album of Jason. She cries and Alan comforts her. Sean calls with news that he was found debris from the boat. Rhonda arrives and they fill her on the latest.

Alan & Monica #20    July 30 - December 2, 1992    4 hours

Back to Top

Jason found, Alan is concerned about Jason's behavior, AJ/Nikki announce their engagement, Alan and Monica choke over wedding plans, Alan pays Nikki one million dollars to leave, AJ devastated after being dumped at the alter, Alan pays AJ's detective to NOT find Nikki.

Sean, Alan and AJ patrol the lake in a search boat. The official search has been called off, and the teens have been presumed dead, but they are taking one last stab at it. Alan is losing faith that Jason is alive. AJ yells at his dad for giving up so easily on a son he says he loves so much. They argue, but Sean offers to go out again tomorrow, and Alan agrees. AJ stares out at the water and spots something in the distance. Meanwhile, Karen, Jason and Jagger spot the rescue boat and light a fire to get it's attention. They hear Alan and AJ yell to sit tight, help is on the way. At last, they are found! The teens are pulled into the search boat. Touching reunion between Alan and Jason. Sean and Alan begin immediately firing questions. Jason stalls by asking for food. They huddle in a corner and agree to stick to their story of seeing no one on the island. Sean tells them that Cal has escaped from a work camp during the storm. This, of course, is no news, but then Sean mentions that Cal is traveling with his brother Joe, who has also escaped. Karen, Jason and Jagger all shoot worried looks at each other.

At the pier, Karen and Jason are reunited with their families as they arrive. Hugs and kisses all around. It's also kind of a sad moment as Jagger steps off the boat and wonders into the background with no one to welcome him home. Later, Jason arrives home and tells the family how they were able to fish using spears. Alan wonders where that rowboat came from. What a stroke of luck it was there! Jason stares. Maybe it washed up in the storm -- how should he know where it came from? AJ glares as everyone fawns over the "Golden Boy."

At home, Alan tells Jason goodbye from Monica who had to go to China for a hospital seminar. He has a gift for his son. It's a watch that Edward gave him. Jason thinks the watch should go to AJ and they argue about it. Jason thinks AJ deserves it more for saving his life by not giving up. Jason is frustrated by the way Alan always treats AJ and implores him to change. Alan can't believe he's still sticking up for AJ after all he's done. Later, Alan finds AJ and Kelly's and makes an effort with him. He asks AJ to dinner but AJ is having dinner with Nikki. Alan thanks him for not giving up on Jason and invites him to move back home. AJ wants to stay on his own. Nikki arrives, so Alan leaves.

Alan shows up at Kelly's and asks AJ for a chat. Alan admits he's concerned about Jason. Ever since he's been back he hasn't been the same. Alan asks AJ to talk to him. Rhonda invites Alan and AJ to dinner but they both decline.

At the hospital Alan is chatting with Steve about Monica's trip to China when he runs into Jason, who's rushing to get to the hotline. Jason blows off Alan's questions about what's wrong and they argue. Later, Alan asks to speak to Tom and they meet at Kelly's. Jagger overhears Alan talking with Tom about his problems with Jason.

At the mansion, Alan walks into the room just as Jason is on the phone with Jagger saying he knew they wouldn't get away with this. Alan asks him what he's talking about. What is he trying to get away with? Jason thinks fast and tells him there's a test he didn't study for. Karen calls, and Jason tells her to meet them at the pier. Later, Alan is appalled to find Nikki in the Jacuzzi. Nikki tells him that she is trying to convince AJ to return home (sure she is, she wants to share in the family perks again!).

Alan runs into Jason at GH and tries to talk to him again, but Jason blows him off again. Alan wants to have dinner so that they can talk. Jason wants him to work things out with AJ. Later, Alan tries to talk to AJ but they end up arguing again when AJ asks for money to loan to Nikki.

Jason and AJ are at the pier when Alan walks up. AJ takes off, not wanting to get into it again. Alan tells Jason about AJ asking him to help financially support Nikki and their argument. Jason thinks Alan needs to give AJ some slack. Later, Alan finds Jason in the Jacuzzi studying. They talk again about the situation with AJ.

The Qs have breakfast on the terrace. Alan gets some advice from Lila about AJ. Later at GH, Rhonda tells Alan about Karen acting jumpy.

On the terrace, Tracy has breakfast with Alan. She gives him guff for having his bedroom redone while Monica is away.

Alan and Monica return to the Q mansion (Monica has just returned from her trip to China), where Jason is in a bit of trouble with the police. Sean is there, and explains that Jason has been caught trying to sell stolen coins from his grandfather's collection. Alan and Monica are appalled. Sean puts Jason in the hot seat first. So why did he steal the coins? Jason doesn't know why he took the coins, he just did. But Karen and Jagger had nothing to do with it. Sean instructs his policemen to take Karen and Jagger home. Afterwards, Alan and Monica come down hard on Jason and demand answers. Alan surmises that Jason was stealing money for AJ, and covering for his brother. Jason yells that maybe he is the bad son, not AJ. Then he walks out. Later, Sean returns and tells Alan and Monica that he is going to put a tail on the kids to find out what they are up to.

Alan shows Monica their redecorated bedroom. She is thrilled, but worried about Jason. They get into a fight when Monica accuses him of not trying hard enough to find out what's going on with Jason. Monica returns later and apologizes for lashing out at him. She's just frustrated. They try to figure out why Jason is stealing. Clearly it has something to do with that island. Later, Jason sneaks into their room to steal a blank check out of Monica's purse. He runs off when they return.

Outside the mansion, Jason forges his parent's check, running into Alan and Monica as they come out. They confront Jason again. Why did he steal the coins?! Jason doesn't have an answer and they argue. Alan grounds Jason. Their argument moves to the living room. Jason does some fast talking and claims he stole the coins on a dare. He claims he has to register for school and convinces Monica to let him go. AJ comes in as Jason is leaving, and quickly starts arguing with Alan and Monica about Nikki. He claims that Nikki saved his life the night of the accident by pulling him out of the burning car before it exploded. Alan doesn't believe it and walks out. AJ starts whining that he has no money, so Monica gives him money to tide him over till he can find another job (she notices that one of her checks is missing, but assumes she forgot to write it down).

Alan shows up at Kelly's just as Jason is running out. He tries to stop him, but Jason wont stop. He leaves with Karen and Jagger. Afterwards, Alan thanks Nikki for saving AJ's life. He's not happy about her and AJ being together, but he's willing to make an effort. He offers to help her with her GH hospital bill. AJ walks in and assumes Alan is being hard on her. They start fighting, but Nikki gets AJ to talk with Alan. They both agree to work on their relationship and have a hug.

At the mansion, Jason is headed out in a hurry again. Alan and Monica stop him. They want to know how he could have been so stupid as not to confide in them about Atkins blackmail. Jason argues that they thought they killed Cal and just wanted to get the blackmail money. Jason was also afraid that they would believe the worst about Jagger and Karen. Alan and Monica demand to know how he got the blackmail money. Jason sighs and admits that he forged a checked. They are both disappointed in him, but glad it's over. Monica starts talking about throwing him a birthday party. Jason doesn't think he deserves it, but Monica insists.

Jason's birthday party kicks off at the Quartermaine mansion. AJ arrives with Nikki, much to everyone's dismay. Later, AJ makes an announcement: He and Nikki and are getting married! A few jaws drop as they kiss. After congradulations, Alan and Monica come down on AJ. What is he thinking? Shouldn't he finish school first? AJ snaps at them. He's marrying Nikki and that's it!

AJ comes to see Alan and Monica at GH. Alan and AJ start fighting about Nikki right away. Monica tries to keep the peace between them. AJ asks Alan and Monica if he can move home. He is getting his life in order by working for Ned at the hotel and attending PCU at the same time. Alan thinks it's too much for him.Later, Alan tells Monica he's thrilled AJ is coming back home, but doesn't think he's going to be able to handle Nikki hanging around the mansion.

At GH, Monica chats with Audrey and Bobbie about AJ's engagement. The ladies all surmise that Nikki is after the Q fortune. Monica is worried that AJ will be hurt terribly. Later, Jason drops by GH to chat with Monica about the Nikki problem. Jason warns her that she and Dad had better not try to interfere with AJ's wedding, or this time they will lose him for good.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica walks in on AJ and Nikki smooching on the couch. AJ tells them he and Nikki want to be married at the end of the month. He wants a big wedding. Alan and Monica head to the drink bar. AJ doesn't stop there. He wants Nikki to have one of the family diamond rings. And Nikki is moving into the mansion with him! Alan and AJ start arguing, but Monica stops AJ from walking out. They've come too far to give up now! Alan caves and says Nikki can move in, but they will have separate rooms until they're married. AJ agrees and takes off, leaving his parents to commiserate over the idea of having to live with Nikki.

At the mansion, Nikki flaunts her ring in front of Alan and Monica and rubs it in their nose about the wedding. Tracy comes in and makes some snide remarks to antagonize Nikki.

At GH, Alan and Monica wonder how they've been stuck living with Nikki and paying for her wedding to AJ. Alan wants to have her sign a prenup. Monica doesn't think they can afford to alienate AJ. Tony comes up to Monica and asks him to talk to Bobbie. She is really upset about the whole thing with Cheryl and Lucas. Especially Lucas. Monica finds Bobbie crying outside. She's afraid Lucas is going to lose his mom. Monica gives her a pep talk.

Alan and Monica are having a nice chat in the den when Nikki comes in and flaunts her ring in their faces. Isn't it the most beautiful thing they've ever seen? Alan seethes after Nikki leaves. There must be something they can do to stop her! He's disgusted that Lila has given Nikki a family heirloom. Monica reassures him that they need to do this if they want a relationship with AJ.

Alan and Monica are surprised by a visit from Lee and Gail at GH. Their happy reunion is ruined by the arrival of AJ and Nikki (talk about a conversation stopper!) Lee and Gail take off, as does Alan, leaving Monica to endure more wedding plans with the kiddos. Nikki is yearning for an elaborate dress. Monica tries to get them to postpone the wedding so that they have time to get a great dress. AJ has a better idea. How about they use Monica's wedding dress?! Monica chokes, but agrees. If she can find it... maybe. Later, Alan meets AJ at Kelly's, where AJ asks Alan to foot the bill for his honeymoon. Alan tells AJ he is pressing his luck. He'd better watch it!

At GH, Alan and Monica are miffed once again when Nikki stops by and rubsthe wedding in their faces. Later at the party, it's more of the same. Edward chokes when Nikki asks him to walk her down the isle. Karen suggests to Monica that her mom could do the calligraphy for the wedding invitations.

At the mansion, Rhonda helps out with the invitations for AJ and Nikki's wedding. Monica invites Rhonda to the wedding. She has a moment alone and asks Nikki if AJ is still drinking. Nikki shakes her head. No, she just told him how much she hated it and he stopped. Monica sighs. Well, it seems AJ has the self-confidence he needs because of her. Nikki hugs her and Monica rolls her eyes. Later, Monica warns Tracy to back off. Things are bad enough without her snide remarks.

At GH, AJ goes over last minute wedding plans with Alan and Monica. He insists on a rehearsal dinner and gets upset when his parents balk. He accuses Alan. He just can't stand it that he's getting his life together. Nikki arrives and is excited to open their first wedding gift (from the Hardy's). It's a sterling silver frame. Nikki tells Alan and Monica they are becoming more and more like parents to her every day! Insert eye rolls.

Alan and Monica hobnob with Lee and Gail at the art exhibit. Tomorrow is the wedding and they are not looking forward to it. Gail assures them they'll get through this like they do everything else.

It's the day of Nikki and AJ's wedding. Alan and Monica chat about how they hope something will go wrong. Monica goes up to see Nikki, who's crying crocodile tears about how happy she is to be becoming a part of the Quartermaine family. She doesn't deserve all this! Monica grins and bears it. She tells Nikki to make AJ happy. That's all she has to do. Nikki hugs her. Downstairs, the Qs are dreading Nikki's walk down the aisle. They joke about the fact that it's Halloween; the perfect holiday for the "wedding from hell." Karen and Rhoda arrive. Karen goes upstairs to help Nikki get ready. Later, Alan goes in to see Nikki, so Karen takes off. Alan tells Nikki he's come to a decision. He can't go along with this wedding. He has a proposition for her. If she marries AJ he'll cut them both out of his will and give them nothing but a small allowance to live on. Otherwise, he'll pay her one million dollars to leave town and never come back. Oh, and he wants his mother's ring back. He slaps a check in her hand and walks out.

At the mansion, the guests at the wedding are waiting for the bride's arrival. Jason tries to pep talk AJ, who's nervous. Karen runs in to get Monica and brings her up to Nikki's room, where they find the wedding dress left behind, along with Lila's ring and a note to AJ. Her suit case is gone. She's gone! Alan acts surprise. Upset, A.J. runs out and Jason goes after him. Alan and Monica go down and announce that the wedding is off, but the guests are all invited to stay. Alan asks Tom for advise about AJ. Tom tells him to be supportive and help him through this. Later, Monica asks Alan if he had anything to do with Nikki leaving. He tells her he didn't and if Nikki really loved AJ she would have stayed.

At the mansion, the Q's are all sitting around trying to figure out how to help AJ. They can't figure out why Nikki ran off (everyone but Alan). AJ arrives hung over and helps himself to a drink for breakfast. He thinks he's a loser and that's why Nikki left him. Alan suggests that she just got cold feet, plain and simple. AJ blames them for the way they treated her. He wants to find Nikki.

At GH, the nurses are all gabbing about Nikki. They can't figure out why Nikki trashed her chance to get her hands on the Quartermaine fortune. They hush up when Alan and Monica walk up. They are both concerned about AJ looking for Nikki. They don't think anything good can come from it. Later, Alan and Monica run into each other, and Monica starts in about Nikki again. She just can't figure this out. Alan doesn't want to talk about Nikki anymore. Can't they just let it rest?

AJ finds Alan and Monica at GH. He wants them to pay for a detective to look for Nikki. They hem and haw, so AJ gets mad and leaves. They meet up with him later at home, where they find him drinking. AJ asks Alan and Monica if one of them made Nikki leave. Alan assures him he did nothing to make her leave. AJ believes him. Alan agrees to pay for a detective to find Nikki.

At GH, Monica updates Sean on Ryan's condition, then is surprised by a visit from AJ. She wishes him happy birthday. AJ is still determined to find Nikki. She tries to peptalk AJ about the situation with Nikki, but gets paged and has to run off. AJ then overhears Eric trash talking Nikki and they get into a physical fight. Alan breaks them up, then calms AJ down and asks him to talk to Tom. They have a nice father/son moment, then leave to go home.

Bobbie and Monica look in on Ryan, who is in critical condition after being stabbed by Felicia. They are shocked at the allegations Felicia has made against him. Later, Monica meets up with Alan, who tries to convince her to go home. She needs some rest. Monica wants to wait a while in case Ryan takes a turn. They discuss plans for AJ's birthday. Alan is going to meet AJ at the Grill and meet the detective he wants to hire to find Nikki. Monica hopes Nikki cannot be found.

Alan and AJ have dinner with the detective at the PC Grill and discuss finding Nikki. After AJ leaves, Alan pays the detective to NOT find Nikki.

Back at home, AJ tells Monica about the detective he hired. He's in good spirits, thinking he's going to find Nikki. He can't believe that Dad has come through for him on this. He really believes his dad loves him. Alan walks up and hears this. Ouch.

The Q's gather for Thanksgiving.Rhonda and Karen arrive as guests. Rhonda starts talking about Nikki, which upsets AJ when he walks in. He storms out, and Karen and Jason run after him. Later, everyone sits down at the table. Dinner is being held for AJ to come back. He returns with Jason and Karen. Alan hugs AJ and they all sit down. Everyone joins hands while Edward says grace.

At GH, Alan and Monica run into AJ who is there to see Tom. Monica comes down on AJ for losing his job at the hotel because he was drinking on the job as AJ brushes it off. Alan suggests that it's a good time for him to go back to school full time. Surprisingly, AJ agrees and thanks his dad (for real!). It's so nice to have his support. Alan looks like he's been stabbed in the heart.

In the den, Alan and Monica are excited about having the day off together. AJ walks in with a hangover and they both come down on him for drinking again. AJ thinks he's a loser. His life is going down the toilet, so why shouldn't he drink? Later, Monica comes home from Christmas shopping. She has been to the bank, and is wondering why Alan has withdrawn a million dollars out of their account -- and the day before Nikki took off. Is that a coincidence? Alan gets defensive. What is she accusing him of?! He goes on a tirade about how Nikki left AJ because he's a loser. It's as simple as that! AJ overhears him and walks in. So that's what he really thinks, huh? Alan tries to apologize, but AJ has had it. He hates him! He storms off. Way to go, Alan.

At the mansion, AJ comes into the den after being out all night and gets into a screaming argument with Alan about calling him a loser the other day. Alan tries to make amends, but AJ runs out. Jason then fights with Alan about the way he treats AJ and runs off to find his brother. Alone, Monica accuses Alan of paying off Nikki. Monica is appalled. How could he do that? What if AJ ever finds out?! Alan tells her they need to keep it quiet. He did what he thought was best for the family. Monica warns him she'll never forgive him if anything happens to AJ because of this. Meanwhile, AJ pulls into the garage with a bottle of booze and leaves the engine running. Uh-oh.

At home, Alan and Monica are on their way to the courthouse because Monica has been subpoenaed to testify at Felicia's trial. When they head out to the garage, they find it filled with fumes, and AJ unconscious in his car! Alan pulls AJ outside and Monica calls 911. They make sure he's breathing and wait with him while ambulance arrives. At the ER, AJ goes into seizures while Tom works on him. As AJ is taken off, Tom suggests to Alan and Monica that this may not have been an accident. Alone, Monica reams Alan for buying Nikki off and generally making AJ miserable. It's HIS fault AJ did this!! Later, Tom comes back to tell them that they will have to wait until AJ wakes up to see if there is permanent damage.

Jason and Karen arrive at GH to see AJ, who is being brought up from the ER. Jason blames his dad for AJ's accident and they argue. Alan doesn't think AJ tried to kill himself. He thinks AJ got drunk and passed out with the car running. Jason thinks it's Alan's fault either way. AJ is brought in and Tom tells them he is going to be okay physically, but mentally they have a long way to go. Alone, Monica tells Alan he'd better not even think about telling AJ the truth to relieve his guilty conscious. They hush up when Karen walks in with coffee. Meanwhile, Jason sits with AJ and asks him if it was an accident, or if he really tried to kill himself. AJ doesn't remember. Outside, Tom recommends to Alan and Monica that AJ go to rehab right after he is released from GH, where he will basically be on a suicide watch. They can't believe things have come to this. Alan weeps and wishes he could trade places with AJ. Karen overhears Alan and Monica talking about the payoff of Nikki. Uh-oh . . .

Alan and Monica show up at AJ's room along with Karen and Jason. They bring him presents and try to cheer him up. AJ is more depressed now than he was before the accident. He tells them he wants them all to leave. He doesn't give a damn about his life, let alone Christmas. Alan comes back by himself to have a talk with his son. AJ turns his back on him. Alan apologizes for hurting him. He didn't mean the things he said about AJ being a loser. Meanwhile, Monica pulls Karen aside to ask her to keep mum about what she overheard the other day. Karen nods. Jason calls them all back into AJ's room. They're not going to believe this! It seems AJ has had an attitude adjustment and wants to celebrate Christmas now. Merry Christmas everyone. Alan hugs AJ while Karen stares at them.

Alan and Monica greet Tracy on their way out the door to see AJ. They need to convince him to go to rehab since he is being released today. When they arrive at GH, they argue about the situation. Monica continues to point fingers at Alan. It's his fault AJ is in this mess. The go in to see AJ, who is in much higher spirits, and looking forward to going home. They tell him he's going to have to do something about his drinking. They want him to go to rehab. AJ doesn't think he's an alcoholic. Monica holds his hand. She doesn't want him to kill himself! AJ doesn't care if he's dead or alive! Alan talks to AJ alone. He tells AJ he can do whatever he wants in life -- even get Nikki back if that's what he wants -- if he could only stop drinking! AJ gets quiet and nods. He'll go to rehab. Alan hugs him.

Alan greets Tracy at the mansion, but she's in a foul mood. He's sorry about all her trouble with Paul. Tracy thinks he's the last person to give her marital advice. She gets tearful and admits she's in pain. She thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with Paul. She loves him! Alan thinks she will move on, but she needs to loosen the reigns a little next time. Tracy snaps at him. SHUT UP! She doesn't need Paul and she doesn't need him! She storms out.

Rhonda bumps into Monica at GH. Monica compliments her what a good job she did raising Karen. Later, Karen comes by, and Monica offers to help her get a college scholarship by writing her a letter of recommendation. How about they do lunch? Karen seems uncomfortable (it's obvious Monica is worried that she'll blab the secret about AJ).

The Quartermaines are gathered in the living room to plan a family dinner. Ned wants to invite Julia as his date. Monica gives Alan the cold shoulder. Lila gives her a letter from AJ. Monica reads it out loud to the family. After the room clears, she again comes down on Alan for what he did to AJ. Later, Karen joins the Quartermaines for dinner. Alan suggests a ski trip to Idaho after AJ comes home from rehab. Monica rags on him in private. Does he think that acting like one big happy family is going to make up for what he did? After dinner, Jason and Karen take off. Paul and Jenny arrive, causing a rukus between her and Ned.

At GH, Alan tries to talk to Monica. She can't keep giving him the cold shoulder like this. Monica thinks that what he did is going to hang over their lives forever. He did this to their son and he almost died as a result! Later, Alan tries to talk to her again, but she takes off to scrub up for surgery. Alan vents to Tony that they are having trouble. He doesn't know if they are going to get through it this time. Tony tells him to take the night off, so Alan goes to the Outback and has drinks with Meg and Amy. Meanwhile, Monica chats with Bobbie after surgery about her troubles with Alan.

At GH, Alan and Monica disagree about AJ's progress. Monica thinks he has long way to go. Alan thinks AJ needs to come home to get the family's support. Monica balks at that. Alan never supported AJ! She wishes AJ was still with Nikki. He was better off! At home, Tracy tells Alan she knows all about his pay off of Nikki and it is just a matter of time before AJ finds out too. Later, Karen joins the Qs for dinner. Monica pulls Karen aside and wants to make sure Karen does not mention the Nikki pay off to AJ. Karen promises she wont say a thing.

Lucy runs into Alan at Kelly's and kisses him. They reminisce a bit. Lucy tries to hit Alan up for an investment in her new venture. Alan tells her she's not going to get one more penny out of him. Later, Rhonda joins Alan and they talk about their kids. Alan compliments Rhonda on raising Karen on her own.

At the Q mansion, Monica takes pictures of Karen and Jason before they leave for the Valentines Day dance. After the kids leave, Alan lays into Monica for sucking up to Karen. Monica blames him. She wouldn't have to suck up if it wasn't for him!

Alan and Monica chat with the family before heading to the rehab center to visit AJ. Tracy thinks it's too early to for AJ to come home. The last thing they need is another suicide attempt or drunk driving scandal! Alan defends AJ. When Jason arrives, he seems eager to get going and doesn't want to talk. He admits he has broken up with Karen, but doesn't want to talk about it.

Alan, Monica and Jason show up at the rehab center and see AJ. AJ tells them about his daily routine and the progress he's made. Alan and Monica are very pleased to find out that he wants to get on with his life.

Alan and Monica argue in the den as they wait for AJ to show up. Monica warns him not to put so much pressure on AJ. AJ comes in and hugs them both. He tells them how he intends to get his job back at the hotel and get back into school. When Reginald comes in asking them what they want to drink, they all decline. AJ tells them all to relax. He can handle watching other people drink even if he can't. They go to the PC Grill for dinner, where they run into Karen and Jagger. Awkward!

Tracy calls a family meeting to discuss the threat senator Kensington has made against ELQ. She tells them that Ned is responsible for their problems and she wants to replace Ned as CEO. They all scoff at that. Ned arrives, and they argue. Edward walks in and tells them all to shut-up.

At GH, AJ reports to Alan and Monica that he's gotten into the group therapy program at GH, and is planning on enrolling at PCU. Monica worries he will overdo it. Later, Alan and Monica sign out and discuss AJ getting back into school. Monica thinks it may be too soon to celebrate how well he seems to be doing. What if he finds out the truth? Alan doesn't think he will. Monica is ansty about the fact that Karen knows the truth.

At the mansion, AJ tells Alan and Monica he appriciates their support but wants to handle things on his own now. When Jason walks into the house with bruises all over his face from fighting with Jagger, Alan and Monica get the whole story out of him. Afterwards, AJ consoles Jason in the boathouse and tells him that he's going to meet the right girl. AJ confesses that he intends to search for Nikki and find out why she took off on their wedding day. Monica hears from outside the boathouse. She runs back to the house to report to Alan that AJ is NOT over Nikki, and he's not going to let her go. Alan can't believe this. Maybe they should tell him the truth. Monica tells him no! They have to keep the secret.

At GH, Alan suggests to Monica that they have dinner with the boys later. Monica takes a jab at him about Nikki again. Alan can't believe she wont let this go. Later, AJ and Jason dine with Alan and Monica at the Grill. They are still astounded by the "new" AJ, who doesn't blame anyone else for his mistakes anymore. After the boys leave, Monica and Alan commiserate over their worry that AJ is going to find out he paid off Nikki. If he does, they are going to lose their son! Monica leaves without him, leaving Alan to run into Rhonda. He invites her to sit down and they chat about Karen and Jason.

At the mansion, Tracy reads the ugly newspaper story about Jenny. Alan comes down on Tracy and accuses her of circulating these stories. AJ gets upset when Tracy makes snide remarks about Nikki. Where does she get off?! Later at the hospital, AJ complains to Alan about Ned and Tracy and what they are doing to Jenny. If someone messed with his life that way he would want revenge! Alan swallows. Later, AJ checks with the detective agency Alan hired to find Nikki and finds out that Alan called off the search the day after it was started.

At home, AJ thanks Alan for paying the investigator to find Nikki. What a terrible waste of money. He wants to pay him back. Alan and Monica both go pale. He doesn't have to do that. Just forget about it. After AJ leaves, they panic. Monica doesn't think AJ is going to give this up. Alan doesn't know what to do about this mess. He leaves. Meanwhile, AJ goes back to the detective and hires him to find Nikki.

At the mansion, the Q's get into a discussion about Jenny and the senator. Alan defends the senators actions. He's just doing what any good politician should do: cover his butt! AJ challenges him. Is he condoning lying to his own family? Alan evades him and leaves. Later, AJ mentions to Monica that he wants to try to find Nikki. He needs answers as to why she left. Monica panics and tries to talk him out of it.

At GH, Monica greets Gail, who has moved back to PC from Arizona. Afterwards, Monica reminds Alan of their appointment with Gail. Alan is not looking forward to it. He doesn't want to start dragging Monica's friends into this and lie to Nikki right in front of her. AJ arrives, and Monica watches from afar while AJ talks to Karen about Nikki. He wants to know if Nikki said anything to her the day she left. Karen tells AJ that she doesn't know anything. Afterwards, Alan, Monica, Jason and AJ sit in on a group therapy session with Gail. Gail encourages them to be completely honest. AJ watches Alan squirm when Gail talks about the importance of honesty. Later, Monica catches Karen to make sure she is not going to tell AJ anything.

AJ asks Jason to help him do some detective work. He has found out that the check Alan used to pay the agency did not come from his primary bank account. Why would he do that? Jason still thinks he should give this up. AJ wont give it up. He knows something happened that day to make Nikki run off. He starts looking around in the desk drawers for the cancelled check. They find the wall safe, and Jason manages to find the combination written inside the cover of a book. AJ opens the safe and finds a check that Alan made out to Nikki on the day of the wedding for one million dollars.

AJ gets furious when he finds the check. It becomes painfully obvious that Alan paid Nikki off. Jason can't believe it's true. Why would Dad do this? He had to know AJ was going to find out. AJ dismisses that. Dad doesn't think he's smart enough to come in out of the rain! He goes for the bar, but Jason stops him from drinking. That's not going to solve his problems! They both hush when Monica walks in. She gets on their cases for cutting school. AJ tortures her by talking about how they need to have complete honesty if they are going to heal as a family. Monica suggests they have dinner. AJ thinks that's a great idea. It's been a long time since they've had a nice after dinner discussion.

At GH, Monica gives Alan the cold shoulder and chats with Gail about their family therapy session. She asks Gail how strong she thinks AJ is and admits that she and Alan were not honest. Alan was the one who made Nikki leave town and she can't risk telling AJ the truth! Gail thinks AJ is going to find out anyway. Later, Monica pulls Alan aside. She wants to tell AJ the truth tonight. Alan thinks she's nuts and they argue. Later at the house, AJ puts Alan and Monica on the hot seat by talking about Nikki. He theorizes on why Nikki waited until the wedding day to walk out on him. If she was going to leave, why did she wait until then. Could this check for one million dollars have anything to do with it?

In the den, AJ confronts Alan with the check. He paid Nikki off to leave him! Thanks Dad! Alan defends his actions. Nikki took the money, didn't she? Was there ever any doubt what she wanted all along? AJ thinks she was confused. Maybe she didn't want to marry into a family where people get treated like dirt! He tells them both off and walks out. Monica goes after him. AJ goes to the boathouse and finds a bottle of booze. Monica stops him. Don't AJ! AJ starts rambling about all the talk of trust in Gail's office and how they both sat there nodding like hypocrites. Dad didn't trust him to let him find out about Nikki on his own! He brakes down and Monica tries to explain. They just didn't want to see him get hurt. She hugs him and AJ breaks down. Later, Monica finds Alan in the den. He's angry and accuses her of shoving all the blame on him.

Alan is nursing a drink at the Outback when he runs into Rhonda. They chat, and Rhonda fills him in on Karen's troubles at school. She has been accused of cheating, and Jason has voted against her in the honors committee. Alan is shocked.

At home, Monica tries to chat with Jason about Karen but he snaps at her. Later, Alan returns home and asks Jason about the honors committee. How could he do this to Karen? Jason insists the evidence was against Karen. Who is Alan to talk anyway after paying off Nikki? They argue and Jason walks out. Later, Alan fills Monica in on what's going on with Karen and honors committee. He intends to talk the dean and put in a good word for her. Monica is surprised. Just when she thought she'd seen every side of him . . . (Flashbacks of great Alan & Monica scenes here). They start to make love, but later Monica is trying to make him feel better about not being able to perform. These things happen. Alan doesn't want to hear it.

At GH, Sean joins Monica in the cafeteria and they discuss the woes in their marriages. Sean asks Monica for her help in his case against Ryan Chamberlain. Later, Monica delivers a phone message to Ryan from Gloria Renaldi, which sets him off.

Alan and Monica meet in Gail's office for their therapy session. Alone, they argue about their bedroom problems. Alan thinks it's because she has not forgiven him for what he did to AJ. Monica shakes her head. No, she hasn't, but she's willing to try. The boys arrive with Gail, so they clam up. Before starting the session, AJ insists on blurting out what Alan did, telling Gail all the gory details. Alan blows his top and walks out. He goes to the cafeteria and runs into Rhonda, who is thrilled that Karen has been cleared of cheating. They talk, and pretty soon Alan forgets about all his problems until Jason walks in with Brenda. Rhonda has words with Brenda about setting Karen up, which Brenda denies again. After they leave, Rhonda tells Alan she hopes their kids will keep on being friends.

Lila arrives at GH for an appointment and chats with Monica while she's waiting. She reminds her that the Q men have their faults. Alan did what he did out of concern for AJ. Monica knows that but she can't forgive him. Lila thinks she's compounding the damage. Couldn't she try again?

At Kelly's, Rhonda joins Alan at his table. They have another lovely chat. Later, Alan returns to GH, where Monica asks him for date later. She wants to spend some time alone. Alan accepts.

At GH, Monica tells Alan how much she enjoyed their night together. Alan is peeved that he couldn't make love to her again. She scrambles to make him feel better about it, which annoys him. At home, Alan chats with Jason in the den. Jason gets annoyed when Alan wants to get nosy about his personal life. Alan shakes his head. What's wrong with this family? How come no one can talk to him anymore?

At the gym, Alan drops by and tries to make amends with the boys. He invites them to a hockey game. Jason accepts, but AJ has no interest in mending fences with him.

Alan is working in the ER when Karen and Jagger bring Rhonda in. She has been beat up by her boyfriend (clearly) but claims that she fell down the stairs. Everyone knows it's a crock. Later, Monica asks Alan if they can start therapy again, but he brushes her off. Sean catches the tail end of it and has a chat with Monica to cheer her up. Later, Alan has a visit with Rhonda in her room. She thanks him for everything he's done. Alan admits that she's one of the few people he's been able to talk to recently.

At GH, Monica tries to get Alan to leave with her to attend Felicia's funeral, but he brushes her off to spend time with Rhonda, his newest patient. He sits down with her for some straight talk. Someone did this to her, didn't they? Rhonda breaks down and admits it. She's so embarrassed. She thinks it's her fault she got beat up. She always says the wrong thing! Alan sets her straight. She is a kind woman and she deserves respect. He brings her a milkshake and she tells him that Monica is a very lucky lady. Monica steps in looking for Alan, but he brushes her off again and walks her out.

It's a very sad day at GH when everyone learns Dominique has died. Alan and Monica comfort each other and talk about how fragile life is. Later, AJ walks past Alan without talking to him. Afterwards, Alan tells Monica he'll be home late for dinner. Jason walks up with birthday present for Monica. Alan grimaces. Clearly he has forgotten!

At home, Alan apologizes for forgetting Monica's birthday. She's not offended, she just wants things to be better between them. They start talking about Rhonda. Alan admits that Rhonda's boyfriend beat her up, not that cock and bull story she told about falling down the stairs. Brenda eavesdrops on them, and AJ catches her. After razzing her about is, she leaves and Monica returns. AJ tells her he's going to find Nikki. He needs to hear from her own lips that she doesn't love him. Monica thinks he's making a mistake, but can't talk him out of it. She agrees to help him any way she can. AJ needs her to get the cancelled check from Alan. Monica goes to GH and tells Alan she wants to help AJ find Nikki. Alan blows his top. Is she out of her mind! They argue. Later at home, Monica brings AJ a photo copy of the check. Thanks mom.

Monica stops into Alan's office to tell him about giving the check to AJ. Alan blows his top again. How could she have done anything so stupid? He thinks AJ is better off never seeing that woman again. He accuses Monica of trying to get on AJ's good side. Later, Alan is having a drink at the Outback. He runs into Rhonda and invites her join him for dinner. They talk about Rhonda's boyfriend who beat her up. Rhonda still thinks she brought it on herself. Alan sets her straight again. NO man should ever hit a woman, EVER. Afterwards, they take a walk on the pier. Alan tells Rhonda how much he enjoyed her company tonight.

At the mansion, Monica tells AJ that Alan is furious about her having given him that check, and worries that it's a mistake to see Nikki. AJ doesn't care. He's going to look for her anyway. When Alan returns home, Monica henpecks him for missing dinner. Alan grumbles that he already ate. Then he has words with AJ about looking for Nikki.

At the mansion, AJ runs downstairs as asks Jason to give him a lift to the airport. He's off to LA to see Nikki. Alan walks in. Where is he off to? AJ tells him. Alan reiterates his warning, but AJ doesn't listen. It's HIS mistake to make! He leaves with Jason. Later, Jason returns. Alan is in a foul mood and picks a fight with him. Monica overhears and learns that AJ has gone after Nikki. Alan thinks Nikki is going to soft soap AJ again and take advantage of him. And he blames Monica for giving Nikki all the cards. Nice going!

At GH, Alan razzes Monica about helping AJ find Nikki. He's worried Nikki is going to get the whole enchilada: AJ, the million bucks AND the Quartermaine fortune. Later, Monica chats with Audrey.

Alan and Rhonda have beers and play pool at Jakes. When Rhonda's boyfriend shows up, Alan steps in. He orders Frank to leave her alone, or else he's going to have him charged with assault and battery for beating her up. The guy backs down and leaves. Karen and Jagger arrive and see Alan and Rhonda together.

Jason is surprised to find AJ in the den. He's back! AJ tells him Nikki is married. She played him for a fool. She was only after his money. Alan and Monica walk in and he fills them in. AJ thinks Alan should be real happy right about now. Alan doesn't want to see him in this kind of pain. AJ walks out. Later at GH, Monica tells Alan she's relieved that AJ has confronted Nikki. Maybe now they can all move on with their lives. She wonders why he's been avoiding her. Alan denies that he's avoiding her. He has patents to see.

Alan shows up at Rhonda's apartment. She runs around in a frenzy cleaning up before opening the door. He has come to return her earrings. He found them in his car. Rhonda invites him in to have dinner.Macaroni & cheese. It's steaming hot, so they eat out on the fire escape.

At GH, Monica finds Karen applying for a job at the hospital. She offers to turn in the application herself and put in a good word. Karen tries to refuse, but Monica insists. She owes her for keeping quiet about the Nikki payoff. She fills Karen in on AJ finding the check and going off to confront Nikki. Later, Alan returns to GH and lies to Monica. He says he had dinner at Kelly's.You can tells Monica knows he's lying. After he walks away, Amy tells Monica she's going to Kelly's. Would she like her to bring something back? Monica shakes her head. She was just there.

At GH, Alan overhears Rhonda telling Meg that she's going to Jake's for dinner. Monica walks up and asks Alan to have dinner with her, but he blows her off. She decides to follow him. Later, Alan shows up at Jake's and confesses to Rhonda that he knew she was going to be there. He buys her a drink and they start dancing the "Achey-breaky" (ahh, the 90's?) as Monica walks in and sees them. She sits a table and watches them for a while before leaving. Back at GH, Monica tells Bobbie about seeing Alan and Rhonda together. Alan is having an affair with Rhonda!

Meanwhile, Alan takes Rhonda home and thanks her for a wonderful time. She sure brightens up his day. They say goodnight and Alan leaves.

At GH, Alan is preparing to leave town for a convention. Monica walks up to complain that he left the house before the crack of down. Is he avoiding her? She wants to know where he was, since she called GH last night and he wasn't there. Alan lies about taking a walk after work (lame). Monica complains that they never talk anymore and tries to get to the bottom of it. Why doesn't he want to talk to her anymore? Alan clams up. He's glad he's leaving town for a while. They both need a break. After he leaves, Monica complains to Bobbie about Alan. She advises her pal not to jump to conclusions. She suspected Tony of cheating once, and she was wrong.

Alan stops by Rhonda's apartment to thank her for the good time he had with her last night and they end up kissing.

At the mansion, Tracy tells Monica that she's leaving town and they have a bonding moment.

AJ and Jason stop by GH to invite Monica to the gym to watch AJ's boxing match.

AJ, Jason, Lila and Monica are having breakfast at the Grill when Alan joins them, having just returned from his convention out of town. AJ is short with Alan, still angry with him. Once Lila and boys leave, Monica tells Alan that Tracy has left town and kidnapped Dillon. Alan gets peeved that no one told him. Monica reminds him he could have called. Why didn't he? Alan dodges her and runs out, bumping into Rhonda on the street. It's awkward between them. They talk about the upcoming graduation ceremony. Alan offers to walk her home. Later at Jason's graduation, Alan and Monica run into Rhonda with Ray Conway.

At the Q mansion, Jason is having a small graduation party with the immediate family. AJ makes a toast. Lila makes a toast to Brenda. Monica wonders where Alan is and gripes to Bobbie about Alan going AWOL. Meanwhile, Alan shows up at Rhonda's place to give Karen a graduation gift. Karen is not there, so Rhonda invites Alan in for a drink. Jagger returns to the apartment, telling Rhonda he couldn't find Karen anywhere. Karen finally shows up, telling him she got busy signing yearbooks and lost track of time. Alan interrupts to give her her gift; a bracelet. Rhonda sees Alan out. Later, he returns to the mansion, telling Monica he had to check on a patient. Monica tells Bobbie she thinks he was with Rhonda.

AJ is happy when Alan and Jason show up at the gym to watch his boxing match. Alan helps AJ put his gloves on, and they seem to be mending fences. When everyone is seated, Rhonda and Alan gaze at each other from across the room. AJ fights and wins the match! Afterwards, Alan offers to take Rhonda home, by way of Jake's. Once there, they talk at the bar. Alan gives Rhonda is number in case she ever needs anything. Rhonda thinks no one has ever been so nice to her before. Alan leans in for a kiss, which is seen by AJ and Jason as they arrive. AJ can't believe his eyes. Jason stops him from crossing the room to punch his father in the face. Instead, they leave with Brenda, who thinks the whole thing is hysterical. Breakfast at the Quartermaine's should be interesting tomorrow!

At the hospital, Alan tells Monica about AJ's victory at the gym. Monica is distant with him. Later, Bobbie advises her to talk to him about Rhonda before they drift apart. AJ runs into Alan and waits about two seconds before he blows the whistle. He saw Alan with Rhonda at Jake's! Monica is nearby and hears them. When AJ realizes his mom is there, he tries to cover, but Monica tells him not to bother. She tells Alan she saw him with Rhonda at Jake's once too. Alan scrambles and tries to claim he ran into Rhonda by accident. Monica knows better. Was last night an accident too? Later, Alan finds Monica to explain. He's not having an affair with Rhonda. He swears. He doesn't want to lose her. He claims Rhonda is his friend. He needed someone to talk to, that's all. Monica is not comforted. Sexual attraction would have been easier to take.

At GH, Monica sees Alan checking out for the day. For her information, he's not going out to meet Rhonda. Monica doesn't believe him. She's more worried about AJ's reaction to his philandering. He hasn't been out of rehab that long. She doesn't to send him back there because of their problems.

At Kelly's, Alan apologizes to Karen for the rumors floating around town about him and Karen's mother. When AJ walks in, he makes matters worse by insulting Karen. Alan tells AJ to back off and leaves.

At GH, Monica walks in on AJ harassing Karen. She pulls him aside and asks him what he has against Karen. Is it possible he's using her to vent his hostility towards Nikki? AJ denies that and runs off. Later, Gail joins Monica in the cafeteria. Monica tells her about the turmoil with Alan and Rhonda. She's worried about how this affecting her sons. Especially AJ.

At home, Alan is on the warpath looking for AJ, finding him in the den. What is the matter with him? Why does he treat Karen that way? She's a good person and deserves his respect. AJ wonders how he knows so much about Karen. Is he going to make a play for her too? They fight about the Rhonda thing. Alan tells him he's not having an affair, but if he was, it's none of AJ's business. Later, Monica finds AJ telling Jason he can't live in this house anymore. She tells him that running away will not fix anything. In the bedroom, Monica tells Alan about AJ wanting to move out. They end up fighting about all the affairs they've had, then make love.

On the terrace, Alan and Monica are having breakfast. Monica thinks they should go on a vacation with the boys before school starts. AJ and Jason arrive. AJ can't help but razz Alan about Rhonda. Alan basically tells him stop judging him or find someplace else to live. Later, Jason and AJ argue about Jagger. Jason wants him to give up wanting to get Jagger in the ring. No matter what happened with Karen, Jagger used to be his friend. AJ tells him it's not just about Karen. It's personal. Monica walks in on their fight, and it turns into the situation between her and Alan. She tells AJ to stay out of it because he's HER husband and she loves him.

On the pier, Alan finds Rhonda crying. She has just had a fight with Karen over the rumors that they are having an affair. The whole town is talking about them! She cant see him anymore. Alan doesn't want to stop seeing her, but Rhonda feels she doesn't have a choice. Karen is disgusted with her. She thinks that she and Alan should steer clear of each other.

At GH, Alan and Monica are beaming about Jason working at GH. Wont it be wonderful to have another doctor in the family? Their happy moment is ruined when Rhonda comes by. Awkward! She tries to talk with Monica about her friendship with Alan. Monica thinks she should avoid that subject with her and walks away. Afterwards, Alan apologizes for his wife's rudeness. He's upset about paying the price for something he did not do. Rhonda thinks she's a great catch as a husband. Later, Alan finds Monica to explain again about Rhonda. Nothing happened between them. He's not going to let her get in the way of their relationship. He loves her. Monica softens and hugs him.

On the terrace, Monica greets Alan with a kiss. They talk about AJ. Monica wants them to work thingsout. When AJ appears, Alan invites AJ to have dinner with him. Just the two of them, so they can clear the air.At dinner, Alan explains why he found it so easy to befriend Rhonda, and what was going on in his life at the time. He would never do anything to hurt AJ's mother. He wants them to put it behind them now. Everything is going well until they start talking about Ned and his job at the hotel. AJ complains about Ned and talks about how he wants to work at ELQ. Alan gives him advice, which sounds like criticism. AJ gets mad and walks out, eyeing the drink bar on his way out. Later, Alan goes to GH to tell Monica what happened. He just can't get through to that boy no matter how hard he tries!

At home, AJ is trying to sneak some vodka when Alan and Monica walk in. They wonder where he was last night. AJ claims he stayed at the hotel, but Ned walks in and tells them what REALLY happened. AJ was too falling down drunk to work last night, so Julia took him off duty. Alan tries to apologize for the fight they had at dinner last night. AJ throws Rhonda in his face again and walks out. Then Alan and Monica start going at it. Alan throws his hands up and walks out. He cant stand it there anymore! At Kelly's, Alan runs into Rhonda. They chat about their kids for a moment, then Alan gets up to leave. He'd better get going.

Alan and Monica have a "nooner" and bask in the glory of it afterwards. In talking, however, they get into a fight. Alan is unhappy that Monica and he don't work as a unit anymore and that their whole lives are about the boys. Later at GH Monica talks to Bobbie about the fight with Alan. Later, Monica tells Alan that she doesn't have the answer to all of their problems, but she loves him. They make up.

Monica finds the boys at the boathouse. They wonder where dad is. She says he's working late. They both think he's out with Rhonda. Monica defends him. They are working through their problems. Alan is not going to see Rhonda anymore!

Meanwhile, Alan runs into Rhonda at Kelly's. They try to ignore each other, but end up sharing a table and talking. Rhonda tells Alan about all the scum men she's seen before. He is so different. He treats her with respect.Alan admits that he wants her, and in the past he wouldn't have hesitated to jump all over her. Later, Alan finds Monica at the boathouse enjoying the quiet. Alan tells her he had dinner at Kelly's, but neglects to mention that Rhonda was there.

At the mansion, Alan comes down to breakfast and tells Monica he can't join her. He has to get to GH to write some lectures for the residents. After he runs off, Lila asks Monica if she trusts him and gives her some advice on how to handle the situation. At GH, Monica apologizes to Alan for her tone this morning. She didn't mean to accuse him of avoiding her. She tells him she's planning a surprise for their anniversary. Later, Alan and Rhonda run into each other again at Kelly's and they chat. Alan mentions that he's going out of town with Monica for their anniversary. Things get awkward between them and Alan says he has to run.

At GH, Alan is excited about going to Martha's Vinyard for their anniversary. He gives Monica a sterling silver rose, but then Monica is called away for an emergency and it ruins their plans to go away. Alan goes to Kelly's instead, where he runs into Rhonda again. She has had a fight with Karen and is blaming herself. Alan tells her no to be so hard on herself. She's a wonderful caring woman. And a hell of a dancer. Rhonda laughs, and then realizes it's his anniversary. What is he doing sitting there alone? He tells her about Monica emergency surgery. They gaze longingly at each other for a moment, then Alan leaves.

When Alan goes to the hotel to book a room, AJ jumps to the conclusion that he is having an affair behind Monica's back, but then feels awful when he finds out that Alan is planning a surprise for Monica. AJ apologizes, but Alan smiles and tells him not to worry about it. Later, Alan shows Monica to the hotel room and she's touched that he planned a surprise to salvage their wrecked anniversary. Alan pours Champaign and toasts to her. Thank you for 25 wonderful years.

At GH, Alan and Monica are still in bliss from their wonderful anniversary celebration. They make plans to meet at Kelly's before going to the Brownstone for Lucas's party, but when Alan shows up at Kelly's, he finds Rhonda there upset (about Karen). She asks about his anniversary with Monica. Alan smiles and tells her it was wonderful. He holds her hand and thanks her for what she did for his marriage. Just then, Monica walks up and sees them. Upset, she goes onto the Brownstone by herself and tells Bobbie about seeing Alan with Rhonda. Everything he said to her has been lip service. It's Rhonda he wants!

At the mansion, Alan and Monica walk into the living room and hear Ned trash talking AJ to Edward. After Ned and Edward walk out, Alan confesses to her that AJ assumed he was booking the hotel suite for himself and Rhonda the night of their anniversary. He tells Monica he is happy right where he is, but Monica can't stop thinking about seeing him and Rhonda holding hands at Kelly's. At GH, Monica complains to Bobbie, and they make plans to go to dinner together.

Meanwhile, Alan sees Rhonda when she shows up at GH to see Karen and they chat. Meanwhile, Tiffany joins Monica and Bobbie at the Outback. Monica and Bobbie discuss how she could make Alan jealous. Later, Alan returns home and Monica goes on about all the hot men at the Outback. She leads him to believe that some guy was buying her drinks.

At GH, Rhonda vents to Alan that her daughter has a new man in her life. Alan gives her advise about parenting. Monica sees them together and steams. She huddles with Bobbie to complain about Alan, but she has a plan to make him jealous. Later, the boys arrive to tell them about AJ's fight at the gym. They both need to be there. A flower delivery arrives for Monica and she winks at Bobbie. Alan is clueless.

Alan & Monica #23    September 1 - December 13, 1993    4 hours

Back to Top

Monica invents a fake affair to make Alan jealous, Alan and Rhonda go to the Opera, Monica flaunts her affair with "Rod," Alan finds Ray Conawy beating Rhonda and kills him, Ray's death covered up, AJ finds out Alan killed Ray, AJ decides to frame Jagger.

At GH, Monica gets a delivery of flowers from "Rod", a patient who is apparently VERY grateful. Later, Monica laments to Bobbie that she did not get much of a reaction from Alan. Her little plan doesn't seem to be working. Jason comes by to tell Alan and Monica that AJ unfortunately got creamed at the boxing match, but was not hurt. Monica worries that this humiliating loss will drive him to drink. Jason thinks AJ will be just fine. When Alan leaves with Jason, Monica sighs. Alan's going home early. Rhonda must be busy tonight.

At GH, Monica gives Sean a hug and a shoulder to lean on (because Tiffany is back in the hospital again). They chat a bit, and after he walks away, Monica and Bobbie put their heads together. Given what has happened to Sean and Tiffany, Bobbie is wondering if it's such a good idea to push Alan's buttons like this. Monica has no intention of stopping now.

Meanwhile, Alan runs into Rhonda. She's upset because Karen wants to move out. They chat about the problems with their kids, then Rhonda stands up. She has to go. As she leaves, Alan looks pained. At home, Monica lets Alan hear her on the phone chastising her mystery man for sending her flowers again. She has flower deliveries everywhere! Wrapping up the call, she lies to Alan, then heads upstairs and watches as Alan reads the card. They're from "Rod" again. Hm.

At GH, Alan walks up on Monica in the middle of another clandestine phone call with "Rod". After hanging up, Monica cancels a night at the opera with Alan to attend a lecture with a colleague, or so she says. Alan is disappointed. Later, he fishes for information with Bobbie about the mysterious Rod, but she plays him. Later, she reports to Monica that her plan is working. Alan is turning green! She offers to let Monica hide out at her place for the evening. Meanwhile, Alan runs into Rhonda at Kelly's. He complains about Monica having an affair. Would she care to go to the opera with him?

Rhonda joins Alan at the Opera.It's not her cup of tea. After the first act, Alan can see Rhonda is bored stiff and offers to leave. They go to Jake's, where Alan thinks about Monica's (fictional) affair. Rhonda wonders if he's hanging around her to make Monica jealous. Alan is frank with her. He likes being with her. Meanwhile, Monica shows up at Bobbie's to hide out from Alan.

At GH, Monica tells Bobbie that her plan is backfiring. She found two ticket stubs from the opera in Alan's pocket. He didn't go alone. She's betting he took Rhonda. Meanwhile, Alan and Rhonda see each other on the docks. They chat about the opera, then say goodbye and part. Alan goes to GH and questions Monica about the lecture she attended last night. Clearly he has doubts. Monica and Bobbie giggle after he walks away. Later, Rhonda arrives and runs into Alan. She's looking for Karen. Alan escorts her onto the elevator while Monica sees them and glares.

At the ER, Alan treats Sonny, who claims he got into a fight with some thugs at his club. Karen is there, and Alan notices that she looks tired. Is she okay? Karen nods. Of course. She's just busy with school. Rhonda shows up to see Karen, who blows her off. Alan asks Rhonda if Karen is okay. Rhonda wonders if HE is okay. He admits that Monica left the hospital to see someone. Obviously her affair is getting serious. He offers her a ride home.

Alan runs into Rhonda at Kelly's. She is upset because she has just found out that Karen has quit her job at Kelly's and did not come home last night. They sit at a table together to talk, and Monica walks in, seeing them. Upset, she leaves.

At GH, Alan complains to Monica that she's never home anymore. He wants to have dinner with her and the boys. She says she can't. Alan snaps at her and leaves. Monica sighs and tells Bobbie maybe she shouldn't have started this. She still wants to see it through though, so they go to the mall and shop for an expensive engraved bracelet for herself from "Rod". Back at GH, Alan notices how run down Karen is and wants her to cut back her hours at the hospital.

At GH, Monica drops her bracelet right in front of Alan making sure he gets a good look at it. It's another gift from "Rod". Later, Alan tells Rhonda about Monica's expensive gift. Alan invites her out for a drink.

At GH, Alan tells Monica about a dinner at home with Amanda Barrington, but Monica lies about having "other plans" again. They go another round about her affair and Alan walks away angry. On the docks, he runs into Rhonda, who complains about how horrible Karen is doing in school. She cries and hugs him, then backs off and apologizes. She shouldn't be dumping on him. Alan admits that it's taking every ounce of self-control he has to stay away from her and he's paying the price regardless. It's not fair.

At Kelly's, Karen is strung out and spills Alan's coffee. He notices how horrible she looks and tells her that he wants to talk to her later at the hospital. Later at the hospital, Alan asks Karen if she has been taking artificial stimulants to keep her going. Karen shakes her head, but Alan sees all the signs. Later, Karen steals pills from the hospital.

Alan and Monica run into each other outside Steve's office. Alan asks Monica if she will be using their opera tickets but she is not about to let Madame Butterfly go to waste on Rhonda. They argue, and Monica walks away. Alan goes into Steve's office to tell him about a procedure he invented to help one of his patients being written up in a medical journal. Amy breaks into their meeting to tell Steve that Karen stole pills from GH. Steve agrees to let Alan look into the matter before he takes any action.

At the opera, Monica is crying during Madam Butterfly. Alan sits next to her and hands her a handkerchief. Monica admits there is something she needs to tell him. They go home, where Alan expects her to confess she's having an affair. She throws him for a loop instead. There is no Rod. She made him up. He's appalled. Does she realize she could have driven him right into Rhonda's bed? He was ready to kill her! Monica asks: again? They argue, and then make love.

Alan and Monica have breakfast in the den. Monica learns about Alan's article being published in the medical journal. AJ and Jason walk in but AJ looks a little down in the mouth and rushes out. Monica follows him to asks what's wrong. He just hopes she will always be as happy with dad as she is right now.

At GH, Alan confronts Karen about the missing drugs. Karen tearfully admits that she took them, and cries on his shoulder. Alan promises to keep this incident off her college records if she stays clean until the first of the year. Later, Alan and Monica chat about Karen. Monica can't believe Karen has gotten into this kind of trouble. Rhonda arrives looking for Karen. Alan and Monica both advise her to make sure Karen gets some sleep rather than cross-examine her. They leave the hospital together.

At GH, Monica hobnobs with Steve and Jack Bolind (Eddie Albert). They have a big surprise for her but wont say what it is. After Jack leaves, Steve talks to Monica about Karen Wexler. He's starting to have doubts. Monica assures Steve that Alan got through to Karen and she is working on turning things around.

At the mansion, Ned and AJ are arguing with Edward just as Alan and Monica are welcoming Jack Bolind and the Hardy's. Everyone hangs out in the foyer and listens to the fight. When things die down, Jack Bolind tells them all he is donating one million dollars to GH and throwing a dinner in Alan's honor for what Alan did for his son.

At GH, Karen is having a rough time dealing with the detox unit. Alan sits with her and she talks about feeling like her life will never be in control. The strain of two jobs is really taking its toll on her. Alan offers her a loan but she turns him down. She can't take money from him. Alan insists it would be an interest free loan, but she doesn't budge. She just can't. After she leaves, Monica walks up, and Alan admits to her that he needs to go see Rhonda. There is something he has to take care of. At Rhonda's, Alan explains that Karen needs help. She's overextending herself. He writes Rhonda a check for Karen and wants her to convince Karen to take it. Rhonda tries to refuse, but he wears her down. Then he tells her that he can't see her anymore.

Rhonda arrives at GH frantic because Karen did not come home last night. Monica comes by and insinuates that she's looking for Alan's shoulder to cry on. Rhonda does not want to come between them anymore, she just wants to find her daughter. She takes off when Alan walks up. Then Alan and Monica have an argument, but work it out by the time Steve walks up to congratulate Alan on the banquet.

AJ meets with Alan and Monica to tell them of his plan and ask for a loan, but they both agree that he needs to work his way up, not get it handed to him. He thanks them both for their confidence in him and walks out.

At home, Alan and Monica are getting ready for the banquet. Monica finds the check he wrote to Rhonda and goes ballistic. He's a dead man! She starts ranting and tearing his clothes out of the closet. Alan explains he gave the money to Rhonda for Karen. Monica simmers down and they end up in bed. Later, Rhonda calls Alan, interrupting their pillow talk. They listen to her frantic message on the machine. Something is going on with Karen. She needs someone to talk to.

Jason tells Alan that he has learned Karen was molested by Ray. Alan is floored. Now he knows why Rhonda tried to call him. Meanwhile, Rhonda returns home and Ray shows up, letting himself in with the key she gave him. She demands the key back and smacks him for what he did to Karen. Ray explodes and starts beating her up. In the middle of it, the phone rings. Rhonda lunges for it and Alan is on the line. He hears her screaming and rushes over. He arrives just as Ray is beating Rhonda unconscious on the floor. Alan throws him into the window, where he breaks his neck and dies.

Alan calls 911 for Rhonda, then moves Ray's body out to his car (throwing his back out in the process). Later, he shows up late to the banquet and gets word that Monica was called into emergency surgery. When the banquet is over, Alan tells Karen that their mother has been taken to GH.

Karen arrives at GH with Alan and Jason and learns her mom is fighting for her life in the OR. Sean arrives and gives them more info about the 911 call that came in. Karen figures it was Ray who beat her. Alan offers to go into the OR room so he can give them a firsthand report. After he leaves, Jason confesses to Karen that he knows what Ray did. He holds Karen while she cries, thinking she got her mom beaten up. Later, is a wreck as Monica comes out of the OR to tell him how Rhonda is. For God's sake, tell him!

At GH, Karen and Jason are sleeping in the lounge. Monica wakes them up to give them update on Rhonda. Her prognosis is good. Jason insists on staying with Karen and they go off together. Alone, Alan takes a moment to breath. Sean comes to tell him that Ray's truck was located at the airport. It looks like he's skipped town. Sean promises they are going to find Ray and bring him to justice. Later, Alan flashes back to everything that's happened. Monica walks by. She's ready to go home. Alan compliments her on how wonderful and professional she was with Rhonda last night. She's an extraordinary woman.

Alan is haunted by what he did to Ray. He wakes up from a nightmare. Monica rubs his back and they discuss Ray Conway. Alan tells her that Ray abused Karen when she was a little girl. Monica is shocked. She had no idea. Poor Karen. Alan laments that he would kill Ray with his bare hands and without any guilt.

Jason and AJ chat in the den late at night. AJ tells Jason about his new hotel venture. Jason wishes him luck. Alan walks in, extremely crabby, and a fight with AJ quickly ensues. AJ implies that Alan expects him to screw up, and is jealous because he is stepping into a position that Grandfather held open for Alan. Jason, as always, mediates between them.

At GH, Alan asks Monica to come and see Rhonda with him. Karen thanks Alan for loaning her the money. Sean arrives and says he has news about Ray. He goes over the evidence found at the scene. They have found black fibers and a palm print in the apartment. Alan looks worried. Karen gets upset and leaves the room. Afterwards, Monica sits down with Rhonda and they have a nice chat. Later, Alan questions Monica about what she and Rhonda discussed. Monica tells him it was woman talk, that's all.

At the mansion, the Q's are all sitting around chatting. Jason asks how Rhonda is doing and everyone speculates about what happened to Ray. Alan suggests that he simply left town. They all start talking about Bill's ELQ stock and how they can get their hands on it. Edward nominates Monica to be the one to grovel to Jenny. Damian arrives, much to Edward's disgust. Damian lobbies for his toxic waste incinerator.

Monica meets with Jenny to make a play for the ELQ stock. She tries to pretend it's for her and Alan, but Jenny sees through her. She's already promised the stock to someone else. Sorry. Monica reports back to Ned and Edward, who are livid. She can't do this!

At GH, Alan comes to see Rhonda as she's being released. She is afraid Ray might come back. Alan assures her Ray will not bother her again. Trust him.

Sean finds Alan and Monica at the Grill to question Alan about Ray Conway. He wants to know about Rhonda's relationship with Ray, and if he ever beat her before. Alan doesn't think so. Sean thanks him for his time and leaves. Afterwards, Monica can see Alan his holding something back. Is he jealous of Ray's friendship with Rhonda? Is he planning to retaliate? Alan says she has nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing.

At the mansion, AJ and Alan are chatting when Sean drops by to question Alan about Rhonda's beating. Alan tells Sean he tried to call Rhonda before the banquet, but got no answer. Rhonda calls to tell Alan she had a dream about Ray beating her up, and she remembered hearing his voice. Isn't that strange? Alan keeps a great poker face and hurries off the phone. He'll talk to her later. Jenny calls to speak to Edward. She wants to introduce them all to their new ELQ shareholder. He's on his way over right now! Edward combusts and calls a family meeting. It turns out to be Damian Smith.

At the mansion, AJ is ready to head off to the hotel when Edward receives a call about a body being discovered out at the Petro-chemical plant. AJ goes with him to check it out.

At the mansion, Alan and Monica wake up together, excited to spend their day off together. They decide to go sledding. Meanwhile at the chemical plant, AJ and Edward arrive as the body is being carried out. Sean reports that it's Ray Conway, the man who beat up Rhonda. While Edward is arguing with Sean about publicity, AJ finds Alan's cuff link near where the body was found. Returning home, they report the news of Ray Conway's body to Alan and Monica. Alan thinks Ray got what he deserved and excuses himself. Alone with Monica, AJ fishes around whether she thinks Alan is capable of killing someone. Later, he confronts Alan with the cufflink.

AJ confronts Alan with the cuff link he found near Ray's body and accuses him of murder. Alan is not thrilled at the accusation. Why doesn't he just go ahead and call Sean. AJ swears he'd never turn him in, but wants to know exactly what happened. Alan tells him how he walked in on Ray beating Rhonda. He threw Ray into the wall and he was killed instantly. AJ nods. He'll help him cover it up, but not for him, only for Monica. Later, Monica wonders what AJ wanted and brings up that he thought Alan might have killed Ray. She asks him straight out, and Alan denies it.

At Kelly's, AJ sees an opportunity to pin the murder on Jagger by lifting Jagger's gym key and planting it at the chemical plant where the body was found.

In their bedroom, Monica tries again to get Alan to admit the truth about Ray's death. She understands why he covered it up: he was worried about her reaction to him visiting Rhonda's apartment. He's in this mess because of her! Alan tells her to drop it, but Monica keeps pushing and he admits he killed ray. Monica agrees that they will have to keep this secret. Alan admits that AJ knows. Hopefully the police will not come up with any more evidence.

Back to Top

AJ gets Jagger off the hook for Ray's murder, Damian holds the Ray Conway evidence over Alan's head for his ELQ vote, AJ has the evidence stolen back, Alan helps Karen secure her scholarship, Karen & Jagger's wedding, Lois meets the Q's.

At the mansion, Monica talks to AJ about Ray Conway. She thanks him for not going to the police. They are going to forget this entire incident ever happened.

Meanwhile, Sean tells Jagger that his locker key was found near where Ray's body was found, and he's needed for questioning.

Karen runs to Alan and asks him to secure a lawyer for them who will work pro-bono. Jagger has been accused of killing Ray Conway! Alan blinks. That's not possible. Alan calls Paul and gets him to take the case. Later, Alan tells Monica that he had to retain Paul to represent Jagger. Monica agrees that they have to help him, but is worried that if Jagger is cleared, the police will keep looking for the killer. What a mess.

At the mansion, Brenda and AJ return home, where Monica tells them about Jagger being the prime suspect in Ray Conway's murder. Brenda gets upset and runs out. Alone with AJ, Monica commiserates with him. They both know Jagger didn't do it. AJ is just happy that Alan is not the one taking the heat for this. Brenda returns later to fill them in on the evidence Sean has against Jagger. It seems his gym key has been found near where the body was dumped. AJ bites his lip. After Brenda leaves, Monica jumps on AJ for acting like Jagger might be guilty in front of Brenda. AJ reminds her that they can't let on that they know who really killed Ray. He was playing a part!

At home, AJ confesses to Alan that he was the one who framed Jagger. Alan blows his top. What was AJ thinking?! AJ admits he went too far. He only wanted to divert some of the heat. He never thought Jagger would become a suspect! Maybe there's something he can do. Alan doesn't think so. Do him a favor and don't help him!

Alan tells Monica that AJ set up Jagger. Monica is appalled. Edward tries to persuade Alan and Monica to vote with him against Damian's proposals. Later, the ELQ board meeting is about to get underway but the Q's are waiting on Scott. The meeting moves forward despite Scott's absence. Damian pitches his toxic waste incinerator. He insists that any public outcry over toxic waste can be solved with some good PR. Edward moves to put it to a vote and Damian is shot down by most of the Q's. They need Scott's vote to break the tie.

Alan and Monica tell AJ that they have to think of a way to divert attention away from Jagger. AJ thinks that anything they do to help Jagger will only cast suspicion on Alan.

It's Christmas at the Q's. Alan complains that AJ has set up the trains without him. For AJ's benefit, Brenda makes a crack about hoping she gets a key ring for a gift, because so many people are losing keys these days.

AJ goes to Sean with a cock-and-bull story as to how Jagger's key wound up at the plant. Sean barely buys it, but lets AJ sign a sworn statement to clear Jagger. Afterwards, AJ finds Jagger to tell him the good news that he's off the hook. Jagger sucker punches him. Later, AJ tells Monica that he cleared Jagger and got punched for his trouble. Monica is worried about how easy it was for him to set up Jagger the way he did. She didn't raise him to be so diabolical.

At the hotel, Alan finds AJ to confirm that he's gotten Jagger off the hook. They end up fighting once again.

At GH, Rhonda runs into Alan and mentions that she's been hearing his voice in her dreams. She's beginning to wonder if he was with her the night she was beaten up. Alan keeps a straight face and shakes his head. He was at the banquet. When Monica walks up, Alan starts to panic. Rhonda is starting to remember! Monica tells Alan not to worry because they will just head off when a disaster dooms. She thinks he needs to use his friendship to make sure she knows where her loyalties are. Monica will not lose him again and she wants to keep him in her bed even if that means she has to trust him with Rhonda Wexler to keep his freedom. Later, Rhonda questions Amy about the night of the banquet. After Rhonda leaves Amy remembers that Alan was late.

At GH, Tony asks Monica about Damian Smith. He wants to know everything she knows about the man. He tells her that Damian is Frank Smith's son. Monica is floored. She goes home to Edward to tell him what she's learned about Mr. Smith. Edward blows a gasket.

Alan is spooked after he has a daydream about Sean arresting him for Ray's murder. Monica assures him that no one besides AJ knows the truth. There is nothing to worry about.

Edward tells Alan that Scott gave his ELQ shares to Lucy. Now Edward wants Alan to show Lucy the wisdom of voting with them. Alan sighs. The only way he can live in the same town with Lucy is to stay as far away from her as possible! When Lucy arrives, Alan and Edward both get to work on her about Damian and how deplorable he is. Lucy is coy with them. Edward grunts when Damian arrives with Ned. Katherine arrives and gloats to Lucy that she's still working for ELQ. The board meeting gets underway. Ned welcomes Lucy to the table. Katherine starts to make her presentation, but Damian interrupts to talk about the Toxic Waste Incinerator. Voting commences, and it comes down to a tie. Ned is smugly about to break the tie, but Katherine pipes up. She owns .5 percent of Damian's stock. Smiling, she shoots down Damian's proposals. Damian clenches his jaw and catches Katherine on the way out. She's going to regret this! Katherine gloats and walks out.

Sean asks Rhonda if she remembers anything more about the night she was beaten. Rhonda blurts out Alan's name and then tries to cover. She's been having dreams lately, that's all. Sean thinks it's more than that and calls the Q house to speak to Alan, which makes Rhonda panic. She calls Alan at GH to warn him that Sean now wants to ask him some more questions. Later, Sean drops by GH to have a chat with Alan. He thinks it's possible that Alan might have been in Rhonda's apartment that night. Alan keeps his cool and sticks to his story that he had a flat tire. Sean lets him know that they've recovered fibers from a tuxedo on the window sill at Rhonda's place left by the killer. Rattled, Alan runs to the phone to call Monica. Meanwhile, Damian (visiting with Lila) picks up the extension and hears them talking about Ray's murder. Alan wants her to get rid of his tux and buy another one right away. Damian smiles. Uh-oh! He runs into Monica on the way out. She has Alan's tux. Later, Damian calls Sean to set up a meeting.

In his hotel room, Damian gets dressed up in a clever disguise. At the police station, Damian poses as an FBI agent to get his hands on the Conway murder evidence. (Note: News report interruption during the scene). Later, Damian meets Sean at Kelly' to give him $25,000 for the police athletic league. It's his way of trying to make amends for his father's mob carnage in PC.

Damian gives Alan a call. He'd like to set up a meeting. It's about Ray Conway. Alan goes pale. Later, Alan and Monica arrive at the Outback to meet Damian. Damian lays lays all cards on the table. He knows Alan killed Ray, he has the police evidence, and he'll use it unless they vote on his proposals at the next ELQ board meeting. Returning home, Monica tries to convince Alan to beat Damian at his own game, but they only end up accusing each other and fighting. AJ walks in and learns of the mess they are in. Soon, Sean arrives with a search warrant. Alan directs him to where he can find the tux he was wearing that night and turns it over willingly. After Sean leaves, AJ worries that they will find something incriminating on the tux. Alan tells him not to worry. He took care of that.

At the hotel, Alan greets AJ in the lobby. He has arrived for a meeting with Damian. Damian thinks he has the upper hand, but he's got another thing coming. Alan is not about to roll over a play dead for the son of a mobster! Alan meets with Damian in the Grill and they continue their conversation about the blackmail. Damian wants to know if he has reconsidered. Alan tells him to go to hell. They threaten each other. Afterwards, AJ asks Alan how his chat with Damian went. Alan has not caved. AJ thinks he should! Alan is guilty of manslaughter at the very least. He and Monica are guilty of aiding and abetting. Has he thought of that?

AJ returns home (with the Conway evidence in his hand). Alan is in a foul mood, and they quickly get into an argument. Alan berates him for the whole Jagger debacle. The last thing he needs is another one of AJ's schemes! AJ gets peeved. If that's the way he wants it, good luck Dad!

At the mansion, Alan and Monica are arguing about the upcoming board meeting. Monica is wondering how Alan is going to vote. AJ walks in. He's wondering that too. Alan has no intention of caving in to Damian's blackmail. He's not changing his vote. Monica thinks he's crazy. Alan believes the Conway evidence is inadmissible, and even if Sean suspecting him of killing Ray, he would still have to build a case on compromised evidence. Once again, AJ tries to tell him about their ace in the hole, but once again, Alan walks out without giving him the time of day.

Monica tries to convince Alan to give Damian his vote. What's the worst that can happen? Alan wont budge. He wont be blackmailed. Monica is ready to give her vote to Damian if Alan won't give his. Alan forbids her. If they go along with Damian they will be in his back pocket forever. Lucy shows up so they have to end their discussion. Soon the others arrive. Before the board meeting, Lucy fills the Qs in on Jenny and Paul getting married. AJ listens outside the door as Damian makes his big grandstand, but Alan stands his ground. He's not changing his vote. Damian seethes and walks out. Everyone wonders what this meeting was all about.

At the mansion, Alan is antzy thinking he'll hear from Sean any minute. Damian calls to ask if he's changed his mind after a long night of thinking about the consequences of not voting with him. There's still time. Alan tells him to take a hike and hang up. AJ congratulates him. He knew he wouldn't crumble under the pressure. He decides to let them both in on the fact that he's had the evidence stolen from Damian's safe. Alan gets peeved that AJ didn't tell him. Damian calls to report that his safe was broken in to. AJ heads right over to Damian's room. Damian accuses him of stealing the evidence. He doesn't know who's he's messing with! Back at the mansion, Alan and Monica breathe a sigh of relief that Damian has been shut down, but at the same time, disturbed about AJ's devious nature.

In the den, AJ fills Alan in on how Damian reacted at the hotel. They both have a good chuckle. AJ is afraid though, that Damian is not about to give up on this. Alan is not worried. He thanks AJ for what he did, and hands him a check to replace the money AJ borrowed from the hotel fund. Alan demands to know where the evidence is. AJ assures him it's safe, but wont give it up, and they argue. Alan thinks AJ is keeping the evidence to hold over him. Later, Alan pays Damian a visit at the hotel to tell him to drop the whole Conway issue for his own good. He lets Damian know that he'll plaster Damian's connection to his father all over the press if he doesn't back off.

At ELQ, Ned reports to Edward that the hotel accounts have come up short by one hundred thousand dollars, and AJ just happened to have written a check to cash for just that amount. They call AJ to the office. He admits he borrowed the money and presents them with Alan's check. Ned starts in on him. Edward assumes he's been gambling. AJ wont admit the real reason he took the money. Edward warns him that they'll be watching him and sends him out. At home, AJ tells Monica about the whip lashing he took from Ned and Edward. Monica gets on the phone and calls Alan, asking him to smooth things over with them. Alan returns later to tell them he got Ned and Edward to back off. AJ gets offended when Alan implies he only did it to repay a favor. Alan apologizes and they hug.

Monica finds Sean chatting with Lila in the living room. He has come to return Alan's tux to her. Sean points out to her that it's new and wonders if she has a sales receipt. Monica covers smoothly.

Karen goes to see Alan at GH to tell him all of her good news about getting a scholarship and marring Jagger next week. She tells him that Northwestern is requesting an explanation as why she was cut from the nursing program at GH. She wonders what will happen when they learn the truth. Alan thinks it's unlikely they will grant the scholarship when they find out. Karen is ready to throw in the towel. She did what she did and she has to face the consequences. Alan tells her to slow down -- he would be more than happy to write a letter explaining all the circumstances and the face that she has turned her life around and is in therapy. Karen hugs him and thanks him for always being so nice to her.

Alan visits Jagger's hospital room to tell him and Karen that the scholarship committee is not exactly leaning in her favor. It would add a lot of weight if she speaks in front of the board in person and explains all the circumstances surrounding her drug addiction. Karen tells him she'll speak in front of the committee. She got herself in this mess, she'll get herself out. Alan volunteers to go with her and speak for her as well.

Alan comes to see Jagger, who's anxious to be released from the hospital so he can be there support Karen when she goes before the scholarship committee. Alan assures Jagger he will do everything in his power to help Karen.

In Chicago, Alan speaks for Karen in front of the school board. Jagger shows up at the hearing just as Karen begins to speak her piece. She manages to speak from her heart and tell the committee why she needs her scholarship. The committee asks Jagger to speak as well, and he tells them all the reasons that he loves Karen, and how she has turned her life around.

Alan and Monica attend Jagger and Karen's wedding at Kelly's. After the ceremony, Karen asks Alan for a dance, and Alan gives them a motorcycle as a wedding present. Monica watches through the window as Alan and Rhonda chat outside, wishing they had met under different circumstances.

At the mansion, Brenda introduces Lois to the Qs. Edward is impressed with Lois's gift with numbers. After the room clears, Alan and Monica reflect on Karen and Jagger's wedding. Monica admits that she's feeling guilty about putting him through hell about Rhonda. She truly wishes Karen and Rhonda would have had someone like him in their lives.

Alan and Monica join the Jones' for dinner at the Brownstone. They talk about the Nurses Ball. Tony learns that Bobbie was part of Monica's plan to make Alan jealous with her fake lover "Rod". He thinks that surprises and secrets lead to trouble in a marriage.

The Q's have a front row seat for The Idle Rich's performance at the Outback. Edward grumbles about the absurdity of rock and roll music. Monica notices that Bobbie is seated with Damian. Later, Lois announces that Miguel is going to fill in for Eddie. He sings and is great.

Alan & Monica #25    April 8 - June 23, 1994    4 hours

Back to Top

Bobbie confides in Monica about Damain, Monica performs Maxie's heart transplant, Monica notices tenderness in her breast, The Conway evidence is stolen again, Q's kowtow to Katherine's blackmail, Nurses Ball '94.

At the Outback, Miguel is singing on stage for the absent Eddie Maine. The performance is interrupted when Tony storms in and decks Damain, pulling Bobbie out with him. Afterwards, the Q's speculate about what happened between Bobbie and Tony.

At GH, Tony tells Alan all about Bobbie's scheme with Damian. Meanwhile, Bobbie tells Monica about how she was flirting with Damian to get information for Luke. Monica thinks she is crazy to put her marriage in jeopardy for Damian and basically lets her have it.

At GH, Monica gets in Bobbie face about Damian. Bobbie admits she's scared that she can't put her feelings aside when it comes to Damian. She's made up her mind she's not going to see him again.

At GH, Bobbie catches up with Monica, who explains that Maxie's blood has a rare recessive "small p" factor, making it hard to match a donor. They get to talking about other things, and Bobbie mentions that the weekend at the spa did not exactly get her and Tony back on track. She admits she couldn't stop thinking about Damian the whole time and misses the attention. Later, Monica vents to Alan about Bobbie falling for Damian. Alan can't believe that Bobbie is going to throw her marriage away for a weasel like Damian. Monica later tells Felicia about Maxie's small p factor. It will make finding a donor heart that much harder. Felicia is crushed.

After checking on Maxie, Monica tells Felicia that they've reached a crisis point. Maxie does not have much time. If her lungs do not clear soon she will have to be put on a respirator.

In the den, Edward tells Ned that his investigation into Damian's link to his father's money came up with nothing. Alan thinks they need to dig deeper. Damian is good a covering his tracks.

Monica lets Felicia know that Frisco can't donate blood because he's been in an infected region. Felicia is frustrated to think that some poor child could be dying, and could save Maxie, but no one will ever know. Later, Monica tells them all that if they believe in the power of prayer, that now is the time.

After observing Damian with Bobbie, Alan issues a warning to Damian. Bobbie has been a friend for a long time. Leave her alone.

Tony finds Monica and tells her that there is a heart for Maxie, and that it is BJ's. He explains there has been a school van accident, and the girls are a match for the small p factor. BJ has massive head trauma and is essentially brain dead. He doesn't want Felicia to know it just yet, and asks Monica to tell her that the family wishes to remain anonymous.

Monica tells Mac, Felicia and Frisco that there is a heart for Maxie down in the emergency room. Felicia is overjoyed at first, but then feels guilty about the child who had to die so that Maxie can live. Meanwhile, Monica goes to the ER to see Bobbie. Bobbie tells her that Tony caught her and Damian kissing. Monica can't believe it. She's got to get her act together now! Upstairs, Lucy runs into Tony, and he explains to her about BJ. Lucy is crushed and cries on Alan's shoulder.

As Monica prepares for surgery, Tony arrives to scrub in. He wants to be there when they take BJ's heart. Monica talks him out of it. In the meantime, Alan finds Lucy still crying in the lounge and comforts her, explaining the OR procedure. Back in the operating room, Monica does the transplant, which is successful. Tony with BJ after the operation.

Monica comes to tell Felicia that Maxie's surgery is complete, and that she will be in recovery for the next four hours, where they will have to keep a close eye on her in case she experiences organ rejection. Felicia refuses to believe that this will not work out after everything they have been through.

Monica checks on Maxie after surgery, who's doing much better. Mac and Felicia thank her for what she did and Monica heads out to get some much needed rest. On the way out, she runs into Alan and they chat about Bobbie and Tony. Bobbie arrives and tells them that Tony threw her out. Alan offers her a hug. Damain shows up. Bobbie speaks to him in private and asks him to leave. His presence will only make things worse. After Damain leaves, Alan tries to talk some sense into Bobbie. He tells her about his experience with Rhonda, and he had to call it quits before it wrecked his marriage. It's not worth it!

In the den, Monica tells Ned about the ordeal with Maxie and BJ and Damian's role in destroying the Jones's marriage. She presses him to see Damian for the man he really is.

Monica rolls over in bed and notices her breast is tender. Alan returns home and tells her how proud he is of the word she did with Maxie. They make love. Afterwards, they strategize about how to get rid of Damian.

Alan and Monica attend BJ's memorial service. Mac is the first one to speak. Tony has a montage of BJ flashbacks to Reba's "If I Had Only Known". When Damian enters the chapel, everyone stares. Luke immediately jumps up to throw him out, with Tony and Alan lending backup. Bobbie invites everyone to come back to the Brownstone. Later at the brownstone, the Jones' friends shift uneasily from one side of the room to the other as Tony refuses to even make eye contact with his wife. Alan and Monica each try to give their friends a pep talk. Eventually, Bobbie and Tony start going at it and make a scene in front of everyone.

Bobbie runs crying to Monica and tells her all about Damian and Lucy's bet. She has been such a fool! She's going to kill Damian! Monica thinks she's making a lot of sense, but she'd better lock up the knives for a while. After Bobbie is gone, Alan arrives and Monica fills him in. Alan thinks this is repulsive. Just one more reason they need to get rid of Damian Smith. AJ comes in and the three of them start discussing the Conway evidence, which Katherine overhears. (Rats!). Alan demands that AJ turn the evidence over to him so that they can destroy it once and for all. AJ doesn't think he should risk getting anywhere near it and finesses the situation to his advantage; he blackmails Alan and Monica for access to his trust-fund in exchange for the Conway evidence. With no choice, Alan agrees. Meanwhile, Katherine smiles as she presses her ear to the door. Now she's got something on the Q's!

Katherine shows up at AJ's office with a lame reason and gets him to vacate the room so that she can search for the Conway evidence, finding it in AJ's desk. When AJ returns with Alan, she hides under the desk. Alan, who is ready to turn over AJ's trust fund, is anxious to get his hands on the evidence. When AJ goes to retrieve it, he finds it is gone! Oh no! Alan jumps down AJ's throat for being careless and they argue. After they leave, Katherine comes out of hiding and runs off.

AJ finds Monica in the den and breaks it to her that the Conway evidence has been stolen from his desk. Monica flips her lid. They have to cut their conversation short when Bobbie shows up. She is all weepy and needs to talk about Damain. He needs to be stopped! Seeing how distraught she is, Monica suggests she say in one of the guest rooms and runs off to get it ready. Alone, Bobbie looks at Edwards prized gun collection. When Monica returns later, she finds Bobbie gone and one of the guns missing from the display case. She leaves a message for Luke.

Frantic, Monica tells Alan that she fears that Bobbie has gone after Damian. Alan stops her from calling Sean. He thinks it'll only make things worse. Instead, he goes to search for Damian hoping to get to him before Bobbie. At the hotel, he has a run-in with AJ and tells him to have Damian call him right away. Meanwhile, Luke shows up at the mansion to get the whole story from Monica about what Bobbie's up to.

Alan returns to Monica to update her on trying to locate Damian. He wasn't able to find him, but since AJ saw him leave with Katherine, they figure Bobbie won't do anything. Breathing a sigh of relief, they speculate on who has the Conway evidence now. Later, Luke returns with Bobbie, and she apologizes to Monica. Monica only hopes she scared the hell out of Damian. No harm was done. Alan and Luke have a drink and discuss what they are going to do with Damian.

Katherine pays Edward a visit at the Q mansion to have a friendly cup of tea and blackmail him to force Ned marry her in exchange for the Conway evidence. She tells Edward that she asked Ned to marry her and was turned down. She wants Edward to use his influence on Ned. She lays out her scheme: she has evidence that Alan murdered Ray Conway and covered it up, along with Monica and AJ. This would be of terrible embarrassment to the Q family, wouldn't it? She puts it simply; she wants to be part of the Quartermaine family. Edward seethes. He is not susceptible to blackmail and she has made a huge error. He tries to call her bluff, but Katherine stands her ground. Maybe he'd better ask Alan, Monica and AJ about this before he accuses her of making empty threats. After she strolls away, Edward yells for the three of them to get in there now.

Edward confronts Alan, Monica, and AJ about the murder and cover-up. They try to play dumb, but he knows better. He demands to know the entire story and he wants every single detail! They argue and blame each other, but eventually get the story out. Edward calls them a sorry bunch of bumblers and tells them Katherine Bell is their newest blackmailer. Alan gets a good laugh out of the fact that she wants Ned. Edward thinks they are stuck and need to go along with her. Alan says no way, but the old man has the final say. Alan reminds him that they need to get Ned to go along with this too. Edward plans to handle Ned. They all dummy up when Luke arrives to join the Q's for poker night. Alan gives Luke the report on Damian's finances. As the guys start dealing cards, the subject of the Ward murder comes up. There are some interesting glances between Edward, Steve and Lee.

Ned walks into the Quartermaine den to find Alan, Monica, Edward and AJ waiting to ambush him. Sit down, Ned. Looks like you're getting married, buddy. Alan comes clean with Ned about the Conway murder. Katherine has acquired the evidence and is using it to force Ned to marry her. They want Ned to go along with her just until they can figure out what to do. Ned says no way! Edward won't accept no as an answer. They have all made sacrifices for the family, now it's his turn. Ned has to think this over. If he is going to put his head on the chopping block, it is going to cost each and every one of them! Left alone, Alan, Monica, Edward and AJ start yelling at each other, drawing Lila's attention. What is going on here? Alan has to come clean with Lila about the murder and blackmail (it's a funny scene; everyone keeps saying "shut-up AJ!", including Lila!).

AJ finds Alan in the den reading his newspaper. He apologies to Alan. It was never his intention for the Conway evidence to resurface. Alan wants the $100k that he paid for AJ to recover the evidence back. AJ argues that the money was to get rid of Damian and they did that. Alan yells that all AJ accomplished was to switch blackmailers and the two ague. Jason walks in and overhears them, learning of all this for the first time. Dad killed someone? AJ explains it to him and Jason is peeved they've left him out of this. He think they should confess to Sean. AJ says no way. Too much time has passed. They'll be in big trouble if the police ever learn about this. Later, Alan worries to Monica that Edward has gone soft for even considering Katherine's demand.

Bobbie is at home depressed when Monica arrives to check on her. She has missed the rehearsal for the Nurse's Ball. Bobbie admits she can't stop thinking about Damain. Monica sets her straight about the kind of man Damian is. Afterwards, they go to GH for the rehearsal. Bobbie gets in Lucy's face about the bet and ruining her life. Lucy fires back that she thought Bobbie would wise up and throw Damian on his ear. They end up screaming at each other and Bobbie storms out in tears. Afterwards, Monica runs after Bobbie, who snivels about Damian (again).

At the Quartermaine mansion, Ned meets with the family and agrees to go along with marrying Katherine, but not without a price (and not without gloating big time!). He demands 1% of ELQ stock from each of them, voting rights for the next 5 years, and AJ out of the hotel permanently. The Q's reluctantly give into his demands--all except the voting rights. He haggles them down to voting rights regarding the toxic waste incinerator. They agree. It's the lesser of two evils. Afterwards, AJ cries to Edward. He can't believe grandfather has agreed to boot him out of the hotel! Edward is more interested in neutralizing Katherine. That is their first order of business.

At home, Monica reschedules her mammogram appointment. AJ walks in and asks Monica for $200,000 against his new ELQ stock from her and Alan for the real estate venture he's got going with Edward. Monica says she'll talk to Alan. Later, Edward is grumpy as the Q's prepare to leave for the ball.

The Quartermaines arrive at Nurses Ball. There's an awkward moment when Steve insists on a photo of Lucy and Bobbie with Damian (groan). Monica pulls Bobbie away from Damian and tells her to stay away from him. The talent show begins with Lucy's introduction, and the first act is Kevin, Monica and Simone doing "Triplets." Later, Lucy carries out her plot to get Bobbie and Tony back together by locking Alan in a closet and placing Tony on stage to fill in for him. When the lights come up, Tony and Bobbie find themselves in the lime light. Bobbie pulls herself together and begins the routine, but Tony walks off the stage. After an awkward moment of silence, Damian fills in to rescue Bobbie from the embarrassing moment, and they dance the tango. When they are done, Damian and Tony get into a full scale fist fight backstage, which results in the curtain being drawn prematurely, exposing Lucy in her under garments! Yikes! (But, the start of a wonderful tradition...)

Alan & Monica #26    June 28 - September 8, 1994    4 hours

Back to Top

Q's invite Katherine to move into the mansion, Monica learns she has a malignant tumor in her breast, Monica tells Alan she has cancer, AJ and Jason learn Monica is sick, Surgery and recovery at home, Monica takes a look at post-op incision.

At GH, Bobbie tells Monica she threw Tony out of the house and gripes to him that Damian is better for her than Tony. They are kindred spirits, soul mates. Monica tries to talk some sense into her. Is she insane?? She can't throw her marriage away for the likes of Damian Smith! When an emergency surgery comes up, Monica cancels her mammogram yet again.

At home, Alan and Monica are hobnobbing with Lila (who is being temporarily played by Meg Wyllie). They are all griping about Ned and Katherine's upcoming wedding. Pretty soon Edward arrives to take Lila to the Spencers' for poker night. Alone, Alan nags Monica to get her mammogram results. Changing the subject, Monica fills him in on AJ's 1% of stock that he got from Edward, and that AJ needs a loan against his stock. Alan huffs but agrees.

At the mansion, decorations are going up for Ned & Katherine's wedding. Katherine is late, which gets Edward complaining. Finally she arrives and the wedding goes on. Everyone endures with disgust as Ned and Katherine are pronounced man and wife. Ho hum. Not a hint of applause. Afterwards, Katherine and Ned cut the cake and dance at their wedding to "True Love."Everyone gags.

After Ned and Katherine depart for their honeymoon, Damian gloats to the Q's about their predicament with Katherine. At least when he had the evidence they didn't have to see him every morning at breakfast. Alan tells him off, then makes himself a brandy. Alone, the Q's commiserate about their situation.

Alan has some questions for AJ regarding the real estate deal before he will grant him a loan. AJ is confident he has a sure thing. Alan thinks AJ will be disappointed if this deal fails, but AJ promises him he's got a solid business deal. Alan nods. Okay, he'll loan him the money.

At GH, Bobbie is irate when she can't get a hold of Damian and slams the phone down. Monica calls her on acting like a crazy woman at the hospital. Bobbie has lost what's left of her brains. She thinks Damian is involved with Lucy. Monica presses her to let go off Damian, but Bobbie won't listen.

The Q's hold a board meeting in the living room. Ned is dismayed to learn that Edward bestowed some ELQ stock to AJ. Before getting started on the meeting, Ned tries to get the Qs to renege on their offer of the Gatehouse to Lois, but no dice. Ned calls the meeting to order and moves to vote on the toxic waste incinerator. This time, it's unanimous. The incinerator is approved. Lucy Lucy wants to know what the heck is going on. What has happened to the Q's? She surmises Katherine is behind this. Katherine takes the floor. It's time to talk about Deception. Katherine doesn't feel Lucy is the right choice to lead the company. She's booted out as CEO, but Katherine graciously offers her a position in the company. Lucy says her piece and storms out with Damian running after her. With only Q's present, it's time for Katherine to hand over the Conway evidence as promised. Edward takes it off to have it burned.

Alan and Monica walk into the living room and AJ pays them back for the loan they gave him. Edward finds it deplorable that AJ borrowed the money to double-cross him using the one percent of stock he gave him as collateral. He's impressed. AJ is a true Quartermaine. After he trots off, AJ explains his scheme to Alan and Monica, who are NOT impressed. What have they spawned? Alone, they ponder the whole situation. Monica has a pain in her breast and remembers she needs to reschedule her mammogram. Alan tells her to get on it right away. Before she has a chance, Jason walks in complaining about the country club. The snobs there treated Keesha like garbage because of her skin color. He is resigning his membership right away. Alan and Monica support his decision.

The Q's are gathered in the den discussing Katherine. Edward wants Monica to have Katherine move into the mansion so that they can keep on eye on her. It takes some convincing, but she agrees. Later, the Q's sit Katherine down (choking on their disgust) and invite her to move into the east wing. Katherine is truly touched. She's always wanted to be part of a big happy family!

At the mansion, Edward is complaining about Laura's rally at ELQ. Everyone gets disturbed when Katherine drives up in a shiny red sports car, blaring the horn. She's home! They all rush out to the driveway to see Katherine's new car. She had such a miserable day, she just needed a little pick-me-up. Monica snorts. A cup of tea wouldn't do it, huh? After everyone else leaves, Monica has a chat with Katherine about Q's not showing a vulgar display of wealth. It's tacky. Katherine (the PR lady) makes it all about her sad childhood of never having a enough money when she was the cook's daughter. Sniffle sniffle... They all head back inside to discuss Laura Spencer's protest against the toxic waste incinerator. Jason is the only one brave enough to play devil's advocate. Ned slips away while they are all arguing.

At GH, Monica finally has her mammogram that she has been putting off. There is a sense of foreboding when the nurse tells her she needs to get a few more pictures of the left breast. When Monica meets with the doctor, she learns there is a problem. She learns that a mass was found in her breast and agrees to a biopsy. Later, she can't bring herself to tell Alan anything and snaps at him. Apologizing, she tells him she just had a bad day.

Monica and Katherine are having words in the den when the (dreaded) call comes in from Monica's doctor. Her tumor is malignant. Dr. Cahill wants her to come in and talk about her options. Upset, Monica hangs up the phone.

In their bedroom, Alan notices that Monica is quiet and asks what's wrong. Monica tries to shrug it off again saying she had a bad day at GH. Upset, she can't hide it from him anymore. She tells him about the cancer. Alan is speechless. He puts his arms around her.

In the den, Katherine is angry when she can't get hold of Ned. Alan huffs. If she can't keep track of him, she shouldn't expect everyone else to do it for her. Katherine storms out as Monica arrives. They start talking about her test results. Alan wants to speak to Cahill himself. Monica takes the phone out of his hand. She wants to get a second opinion. It's her problem and she'll manage it! Later at GH, Alan urges her to see Dr. Cahill. He's not trying to step on her toes, he just loves her, that's all.

At GH, Gail is wondering why Monica stood her up the other night. They were supposed to have dinner. Monica apologizes but Gail's wondering what's wrong. Monica explains about the tumor, but admits she hasn't done anything about it. She just needs some time to do some more research. Gail is concerned. Denial? That's not like her. She tries to talk to her, but Monica walks away. Later at home, Alan asks Monica about her talk with Gail. She has to face this. They have to make decisions. Monica takes offense to that. They? Alan thinks this THEIR problem, not just hers. He knows she's terrified. Monica admits she's afraid that fear will consume her. She has to call her doctor. Alan agrees.

Monica sees Dr. Cahill to discuss her options, but Cahill is very straight with her; there is no option other than immediate surgery. Monica fights her on it, but ultimately loses. She agrees to the surgery. Later, Monica is getting ready for bed and staring at the mirror. Alan walks in on her. Without words, he kisses her and they make love.

In their bedroom, Monica tells Alan that the hospital wanted her to come in the night before her surgery but she declined because she didn't want to spend their anniversary in a hospital bed. Monica is putting on a brave face, but Alan gets her to admit she's terrified and she melts into tears. Later, Monica sits Jason down and tells him about her cancer. Jason keeps a brave face but later breaks down with Alan. In the meantime, Monica breaks the news to AJ (she seriously downplays her problem). He doesn't take it as well as Jason. Monica hugs him and tells him everything is going to be okay. Alan comes into the den later and finds AJ crying. Alan is harsh with him when AJ asks if his mom is going to make it (totally opposite of how he treated Jason). He's not God! Alan steps outside to tell Edward about Monica. AJ and Jason break down and hug each other. Alan steps outside to tell Edward about Monica. AJ and Jason break down and hug each other.

While working at GH, Monica tells Bobbie about her cancer and asks her to be in the surgery with her. Later at home, Monica is pouring Champaign. She wants to celebrate their anniversary in style and not worry about tomorrow. She gets a little tipsy on Champaign and tries to walk the ledge of their balcony. Worried, Alan talks her down and catches her. She cries in his arms. Later, Monica gets a last look at her breast and breaks down into tears.

At GH, Monica is getting ready for surgery. Alan, AJ, and Jason arrive for a visit before her she goes in. Monica complains jokingly about being treated like a patient. AJ seems to be struggling more than any of them. When Monica makes a joke about "breast" of chicken being on her dinner menu, AJ walks out. Gail comes to see Monica and they have a good cry. After Monica is taken away, Alan and the boys wait in Monica's room. AJ and Jason start bickering until Alan stops them. In the operating room, Bobbie helps prep Monica for surgery. As she goes under anastisia, she begs Dr. Cahill not to take more than she has to. Later, Monica wakes up after surgery. Bobbie is at her side. What did they do to her?

In recovery, Monica learns from Bobbie that Cahill performed a mastectomy. She starts to cry. Alan comes in to comfort her but Monica is angry. She thinks the doctor took the easy way out and didn't try to save the breast. Alan is relived. He's happy she made it through the surgery and that the odds of the cancer spreading are very low.

Monica wakes up and realizes Alan has been with her at GH all night. She is heavily medicated and having bad dreams. Ned arrives to visit Monica followed by AJ. AJ is really a mess lets slip that Monica doesn't look all that great. Out in the hall, Alan tears into him for being insensitive. Can't he control his emotions for five minutes? AJ tells him to stay off his back. Later, Edward arrives to see Monica. He's brought flowers from Lila's garden and gives her a pep talk.

Luke visits Monica at GH (she has just had surgery to treat cancer) to give her some of Laura's roses. Later Bobbie visits Monica. Monica is disturbed by all her dreams about death. Bobbie tries to get her to think positive, but Monica is too busy dreading the chemo that's coming. She has a mini break down, and Bobbie talks her down from it, reminding her that she is going to have years of her life after this is over.

At GH, Alan suggests to Bobbie that she and Tony attend the concert in the park together tonight. She hints that she's out for revenge; and tonight's the night. Alan gets worried. It would be better if she stays away from Damian. Bobbie insists Damian won't get close enough to get a hand on her. Alan goes in to see Monica. She's preparing to go home, but is reluctant leave. She doesn't want to face the world yet. Alan pep talks her about how much her family loves her.

Bobbie arrives at the mansion and asks Alan how Monica's doing. Alan shakes his head. Monica is not going to make things easy on herself, and she's not going to let him help her. Upstairs, Monica is horrified when she removes her bandages and sees the incision for the first time. Bobbie visits with Monica and tries to confront her. They talk about old times and how Bobbie has always looked up to her. Later, Alan tries to talk to Monica, but she's beat, so he leaves her to rest. Downstairs, Luke pays Alan a visit to ask questions about Lucy.

Felicia visits Monica at the mansion and at first gets the cold shoulder. Monica resents her for talking about being grateful. Felicia admits she's pregnant. They discuss her dilemma about who the father might be, and pretty soon Monica is giving her a pep talk. They both end up laughing until it hurts.

At GH, Bobbie gets word that the catacombs could be flooding. She admits to Alan that she stranded Damian in the catacombs, which are now flooding. He is amused, but they agree it was time to get Damian out, and she should phone the police anonymously.

Damian is brought into the ER. Alan treats him while Amy calls Bobbie down to the ER. Bobbie is horrified when she learns how badly hurt Damian is. Alan has to ask if she intended for this to happen. Bobbie swears she only stranded him, she never wanted him to get hurt. Alan orders up a surgeon, but it happens to be Tony. Not a good idea, but there's no choice. Examining the X-rays, Tony sees that his patient is Damian and looks angrily at Bobbie. When Damian sees that Tony is his doctor, he says "NO..."

In the ER, Damian refuses to give his consent for Tony to do the surgery. He'd rather wait 2 hours for another surgeon to arrive. Alan tries to talk some sense into him. He might suffer permanent paralysis or death. Damian sighs. Okay, do the surgery! Tony has to think twice. They could all be charged with malpractice. He realizes there's no choice and decides to scrub in. Meanwhile at home, Alan calls Monica to see how she's doing and fills her in about Damian.

Bobbie thanks Tony. He wonders if she's grateful to him for saving her lover and she walks off mad. Alan realizes that Tony doesn't have the full picture, so he fills Tony in about Bobbie's part in Damian getting hurt. She's not in love with Damian anymore; she's seen him for who he is. Tony sees Bobbie as obsessed with Damian. He realizes Bobbie could be in serious trouble. Later, Alan sits down with Bobbie in the cafeteria and they talk. Tiff catches up with Alan to get the scoop on Damian. When she learns Bobbie could be implicated she agrees to do the story from a public safety angle and keep Bobbie out it.

Jason is practicing his speech when Monica walks into the den. She's sorry she has to miss his grandstand at the city council meeting. She is on her way to GH for her first chemo treatment. Jason insists on taking her there.

At GH, Monica shows up for her first round of chemo but first insists on checking on a patient's surgery. Bobbie tries to stop her, but fails. Instead she tells Alan and he runs off to ring Monica's neck. In the OR, Alan pulls Monica out of the room. She rails on him for embarrassing her in front of her colleagues. They fight by the nurses' station. Alan yells at her stop acting like a child and get her butt down to oncology!

Monica is wiped out after her first round of chemo and angry that she can't go to the City Council meeting. She blames Alan for making her go through chemo. Alan gives her a pep talk about hanging in there. Chemo is big time stuff. Monica thinks that she is giving into the cancer.

In the meantime, Katherine locks Jason in the wine closet so he can't speak at the meeting. AJ discovers him locked up and lets him out, but they are late to the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Q's gather at town hall along with reporters. Blake brings the meeting order. Katherine takes the podium and attempts to make a financial case for the project. To everyone's surprise, Alan makes a speech against the incinerator. Jason shows up late to the meeting and speaks after Alan. He tells the council that ELQ is dishonest, and lays out how they secretly bought up the property. He asks the council members that the project should be turned down and is applauded. Luke takes the floor and talks about how Laura and their child almost died because of opposing the incinerator. Pumped, he plays the tape of Blake excepting his bribe. Justus calls for Blake's resignation. Despite Blake's denials, the City Council announces he will face another hearing on the bribe charges.

Katherine tries to be nice to Monica when they meet in the den. When Monica makes a joke about missing her breast, Katherine doesn't think it's funny. Her mother died of breast cancer. Katherine wonders why Monica has to be so hateful to her. Lois arrives to see Katherine, so Monica makes an exit.

In her bedroom, Monica is having trouble going through her closet to find something to wear to Katherine's party. She gets frustrated and throws her dress down, hurting herself. Gail arrives for a visit and talks to her about self-perception. Monica was proud of her figure, now she doesn't know how to cope. Gail makes her feel better and they hug. Later, Luke pays Monica a visit to ask about Edward's connection to Jack Bolind. It turns out they met in the navy and afterwards got into real estate.

At the Outback, the Q's are there for Katherine's party. Everyone chokes on their distaste for her. At the height of the evening, a huge cake is wheeled out, and out pops Lois! Happy birthday Mrs. Ned Ashton, from her, the other Mrs. Ned Ashton!

At Katherine's birthday party, the room breaks turns into pandemonium as Lois presents announces she is the OTHER Mrs. Ned Ashton. She presents her marriage certificate to an angry Katherine. Then she tells Ned off and walks out. Afterwards, everyone at the Outback reels.

Ned gathers the family at the mansion to come clean with them about why he married Lois, and that he is truly in love with her. He also assures them that Katherine will not be a problem anymore. He has enough evidence against her to put her away for a very long time if she should decide to call his bluff. They might even be able to use the situation boot Damian as well. Edward is pleased. Everyone wants to celebrate! Ned is only concerned with finding Lois and getting her to forgive him.

In the den, AJ and Jason chat about the Ned/Lois situation. Katherine walks in. She's back! This whole family needs to stop treating her so shabbily. Monica enters. Who let HER in? She and Katherine mince words. Katherine demands to see Edward.

At GH, Monica rips into one of her patients for not following her instructions about diet and exercise. Alan and Bobbie gang up on her to tell her she's off the deep end. She's pushing herself too hard too soon. Monica cries that she wont give up her life and walks off. Steve later recommends to Monica that she take a month off. She tries to fight him on it, but loses. It's an order! Later, Monica apologies to Bobbie for taking out her frustrations on the people who are trying to help her.

At home, Monica is really struggling with chemo side effects. She has to call and cancel an appointment. Tiffany arrives to visit Monica.

The Q's gather at the mansion for their formal standoff with Katherine, who threatens to go to the police with everything she knows about the Ray Conway murder . . . if Ned does not end is "ridiculous" marriage to Lois and re-marry her legally. Ned laughs in her face. The meeting is interrupted when Lois barges in, announcing herself as Mrs. Ned Ashton. She also announces that she has no intention of divorcing Ned. That would be too easy for him! Ned responds to Katherine's threats by giving her a detailed sequence of events that will occur if she so much as breathes a word about the Conway murder; namely, he will disparage her reputation to every trashy tabloid he can find, and draw the attention of her former lover Joe Heely, who is sure to prosecute her for embezzlement. With that said, Katherine vows that she might just call his bluff, then stomps up the stairs to retrieve her jewelry box. Halfway up the stairs she staggers and tumbles to the bottom, smacking her head on the marble floor. Alan rushes to her side, unable to feel a pulse.

Alan does CPR on Katherine and gets a weak pulse. Jason calls an ambulance. Edward insists that Ned go with Katherine to the hospital. What if someone suggests that one of them pushed her down the stairs? Alan and Ned leave together. Afterwards, Jason takes Monica to her room to rest. She is sick from chemo and has to run to the bathroom and puke.

Katherine has a seizure after being admitted into the ER. Later, Alan gets the tox screen on Katherine. She was poisoned!

Alan returns home and tells Edward that Katherine has fractured skull and Tony is operating. Blood tests show that medication that both Lila and Monica are taking were in her system. Katherine was poisoned by someone in the house. Enraged, Edward demands a Q family meeting and starts bellowing for everyone to get down there. All of the troops gather. Edward is annoyed. Where the hell is NED??? AJ suggests they call Lois to join the meeting and gives her a call. Once everyone is present, Edward demands to know which one of them poisoned Katherine. Lois gets a crash course on Quartermaine family history, including all the people Alan has killed or tried to kill. They all start shouting at each other until Sean Donnelly arrives. Everyone eyes each other. Sean asks to speak to Edward in private. It turns out to be about the Bradley Ward investigation, though. When Edward returns, he gets back to the business of figuring out who tried to kill Katherine. He turns to Lois. Who would have more motive? They don't know her, after all. Ned tells him to back off. Don't even think about it! Disgusted with all of them, Lois walks out. Sayonara Quartermaines!

Sean is back at the Qs once again to question Edward about Katherine blackmailing the Qs about Conway's death. Monica steps in to talk with Sean. They sit down, and Sean admits that he know about the Conway murder and Katherine's blackmail. Monica is coy with him, but he assures her that his hands are tied when it comes to investigation as the evidence is long gone and what Lois said is hearsay. Monica appeals to him not to pursue it any further based on the fact that Conway was in the act of beating Rhonda when Alan killed him. She's never needed her husband more than she does now, and Conway was not worth it. Sean sighs. He can't promises what will happen if new evidence comes to light, but other than that, the matter is closed. He kisses her hand and leaves. Later, Jason confronts Edward about blackmailing Bradley Ward. Monica walks in and lets them know that the Conway case is a dead issue thanks to her.

Monica tells Alan about being off the hook for the Conway murder. While relieved, he is not too wild about her flirting with Sean. Monica thanks him for the compliment.

At the house, Ned and Alan go a few rounds on how it is Alan's fault that Ned was blackmailed. Luke shows up with Damian's head on platter for Edward and Alan. He's got proof that connects Damian to his father's dirty money and he's willing to bargain for it. Edward starts throwing out figures, but Luke is not interested in money. How about ELQ drop-kicks the incinerator instead? Ned and Edward balk at that.They finally settle it that Edward will support Justus Ward for City Council in exchange for the information. Luke gives him the proof that Damian used laundered funds to buy into ELQ.

Sean shows up at the Q's and speaks to Alan about the Ray Conway murder. He's fishing for a confession, but assures Alan that the matter is dropped. He still has the poisoning of Katherine on his hands. Alan assures him that he is not alone in his disgust of Katherine, but did not poison her. Edward walks in and tries to make a donation to the police, but Sean wont accept it. He wants to see Edward at the station regarding the Ward murder. Lila is upset when she comes in and learns Edward is a suspect. She asks Edward straight out if he was involved in Bradley's murder. Edward shakes his head. He didn't kill Bradley. He couldn't have.

The Qs hold a board meeting about distributing Damian's shares back into ELQ. Ned insists that he should get the shares because he got Damian to sign the contract. They start arguing, Jason breaks it up and the Qs agree to divvy up the shares equally.

Monica is resting in bed. AJ brings her a pumpkin. She tries to get up but is too sick. AJ is not very good at seeing her sick, and they have a heart to heart. He takes her downstairs. Alan returns home rips into AJ when he sees how shaky Monica is. She needs to concentrate on taking care of herself not taking care of him!

At home, Monica notices her hair is beginning to fall out and gets upset. Bobbie drops by for a visit and Monica cries on her shoulder. She just wants to come through this with some shred of dignity.

Alan takes Monica home after having her last chemo treatment. She's relieved it's over. Alan tells her she looks awful and Monica laughs herself silly. They talk about shopping for wigs.

At the mansion, Jason tells the Q's about Justus almost getting killed. Why is it that anyone who opposes this family ends up in the hospital. When is it his turn? They watch Damian on Tiffany's show. He announces he's resigning from ELQ due to their nasty tactics. He also offers a reward for information on who beat up Justus. Lila gets upset, causing everyone to rush to her side. Oh, first the attempted murder of that loathsome Katherine, now this! Reginald makes a confession. He knows who tried to kill Katherine.

Reginald admits he knows who tried to kill Katherine. He did! He explains that he saw how upset the woman was making Lila. He figured he owed it to them all after what they've done for him. Edward is ready to pick up the phone and turn him in, but Lila puts her foot down. Do NOT touch that phone! They are going to rally around Reginald the same way they would for any other family member. Lois arrives to tell them all that Katherine woke up. No one really jumps for joy. Lila clears the room so that Ned and Lois can talk in private.

Alan tells Monica about Reginald poisoning Katherine. Monica can't believe sweet Reginald would do such a thing. This house corrupts everyone! She then gets upset when she finds more of her hair falling out, but keeps a brave face for Alan. Later, Jason chats with Monica. They discuss his feelings for Keesha and how he has become a new person since he's met her. Later, Monica comforts Edward. He is afraid he'll be indicted. He gets a call from Lee, who tells him that the jury has started deliberating and things do not look good.

The Q's have a meeting with Edward's hotshot lawyer. Ned suggests they get Mac to investigate any possible connection between Jack Boland and Frank Smith. Lois walks in and invites all of them to see Eddie Maine sing, then pulls AJ outside for a private meeting. Edward tells Ned this is a bad idea. The last thing they need is him gallivanting in public at a time like this!

At the Outback, Lois says hi to the Quartermaines. She hopes they'll enjoy the show! Ned is nervous. When the lights go up, he brings the house down. Standing ovation! Afterwards, the Q's rave to Ned about what a good job he did. He was amazing! AJ thinks he should quit his day job and leave the hotel to him (haha).

At the mansion, the Qs rib Ned a little about his performance at the Outback. Edward is a party pooper. He thinks it's inappropriate for Ned to act like a rock star while he's head of ELQ. Alan tells the boys he wants to celebrate Monica having finished chemo. They are all in good spirits, thinking she's beat the cancer. They make plans to have dinner. Later at GH though, Alan and Monica's happiness is short lived when Dr. Cahill tells them that another small tumor was found on Monica's incision. A biopsy is inconclusive so Cahill schedules an incision biopsy for tomorrow.

At home, Edward and the boys are watching Edward's new lawyer on Tiffany's newscast saying that Edward has been framed for the Ward murder. They want a speedy trial. Alan comes in and they can tell something is wrong. Alan sighs and tells them Monica has another tumor and will be having another biopsy. They are all devastated. The boys rush in to see her, and Monica puts on a brave face for them. As soon as they leave the room she dissolves into tears. Alan tells her she has to keep fighting. Monica wants to crawl in a hole and never come out. She wants to die! Later, Alan finds Monica with a handful of her pain pills and gets the wrong idea. He throws them out the window. She assures him she was not trying to kill herself. Alan cries and admits he is scared to death of losing her.

Alan and Monica arrive at GH for Monica's biopsy and run into Bobbie and Tony, filling them in on what's going on. Later, Monica gowns up and gets ready for surgery. Monica gets to thinking this is her fault for asking Dr. Cahill not to take too much breast tissue. Alan wishes he could take this disease from her. Later, Bobbie sits with Alan while they wait for Monica.

Monica's doctor comes back to tell Alan that biopsy shows that it's a malignant tumor. She will need another round of radiation and chemo. Alan lashes out about now unfair it is. They will do a bone scan in a week to see it is a new tumor or part of the original tumor. When Monica is brought in, Alan tells her the news. Bobbie helps him give her a pep talk. Monica thinks she can't fight anymore. Alan wont let her give up. Monica cries and wonders why her body is betraying her.

The Qs are on edge with Edward's trial starting tomorrow. AJ and Jason snap at each other. Lila asks them to stop fighting. Monica walks in, and Edward compliments her on her grace in light of her illness. She is nervous about getting her test results today. They all wish her good luck. At GH, Alan and Monica run into Bobbie and tell her they are there to get the test results from the bone scan. Alan runs off to see if they are ready for her, and Monica talks to Bobbie about how scared she is that this will be the end of her life. She just wants her old life back before cancer took over her body. Back at home, Alan and Monica explain to the Q's that the test results show the cancer is a recurrence of the original tumor and not a new tumor. It's good news, but Monica still has to start chemo again. They all start tripping over each other to figure out how they can help her through it. Monica blows her top. This is HER cancer and she will deal with it! She runs out.
